Bill,
Verrrry Interrrrresting!
Where is your empty weight CG? Mine is at 20.8" from the back of the
firewall. Also, if I have 230# in the front seat, 40# cargo, 54# in
the header and 210# in the wings, the CG is at 26.6" (a little aft of
the mid range) and 20% MAC.
I lighten the nose wheel at about 65 Kts and fly off at close to 80
Kts. My rudder does not take effect until about 40 Kts.

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.
