Default Nose heavy characteristics in warbird

I know what a tail heavy plane will do but I have a question? What kind of flight characteristics will you see in a nose heavy aircraft [] and a very nose heavy [X(]aircraft? Thanks.

Very stable, but requires a LOT of elevator to land. Will stall at higher flight speed then same plane closer to neutral cg.

Plus 1, it will also need a good bit of up elevator for level turns. I have the H9 Razorback Jug and I have its CoG about a half inch forward of the books setting. I Like my warbirds nose heavy and needing a about 1/3 forward Stick for inverted flight, my 47 needs a bit less than my LA-7 and T28 when upside down. Love the Rivets on your 47.
