John is correct, but you should realize that the 'tail length' (distance
between the aerodynamic centers of the wing and horizontal tail) will be
shorter. Part of the success of current aerobatic designs is the increased
tail length compared to airplanes of an earlier era. The good news is that
the amount of wing movement you will probably need to properly balance the
airplane is fairly small percentagewise and should not degrade the airplane's
performance very much. <br>

planning on two stroke power. Is there a problem with moving the wing back
on the fuse to balance the plane, instead of adding nose weight? Will
moving the wing affect how it flies?
