Chris & Scott,
We have such an arrangement, long mount, small tail. Works fine for
us. I have never run out of elevator authority in either direction. I am one of
those who practices stalls and have never had a problem with the recovery. In
the other direction, we use soft field techniques when operating off grass
which we do often. We are able to get the nosewheel off the ground at
about 40 kts on takeoff.

Chris,
Thanks for the explanation. I know that there are some
360s using the long engine mount with a small tail. I wonder if
that was to correct a rearward CG issue? Perhaps such a person could
comment on how that arrangement flies.
