Default C/G location on Big Lazy Bee

I've got a kit for a Big Lazy Bee with the extended wing that's been laying around waiting for quite awhile unbuilt. I got started laminating the wingtips, rudder and elevators last night, and I noticed the C/G location on the plans. It looks way too far forward to me, and on the videos I've seen of them flying, they always look like they're flying with the tail dragging low. Does anyone have experience with this? I hesitate to change it without some advice from someone with experience with this plane.

PETE913 , My experience with the BIG BEE as well as the Lazy Bee has been that they fly very well on the established CG , However after you get real comfortable with this plane you can move the CG back as much as you want to in order to get those great Bee aerobatics . Most experienced Bee pilots will want as much
throw on rudder and elevator as possible on high rates with only a slightly aft CG so you can get all the
aerobatics on high rate and still have good slow flight stability.
