Or you could just add 2 inches to the motor mount. I made my mount 2" longer for aesthetic reasons NOT for fear of instability problems. I like the extra room between engine and firewall as well as the look of a long nose section. Of course I did add 14" to the fuselage for the same reasons...again NOT for stability or CG problems but for sleeker appearance,. I did have to place my battery behind the seat to establish the optimum CG point. Of course moving the complete firewall forward will give more room for a larger fuel tank....possible CG problem there...not inherent in the original design. LET REASON DICTATE.
