Greg Frohriech's is forward....and it flies well there. Actually if you
move the wing forward then you don't need weight in the tail to balance.
The original has servos in the stabs. My model has about 2-3 ozs in the
stab tube.
 
Greg is running a single elevator servo up front also and his model
doesn't have the tail weight......
 
They fly about the same. His is 2 stroke so its tough to really
tell....but flying wise I can't seem to find much of a difference. Its
subtle....If I built another I think I would move the wing about 1/2"
forward to help my CG situation anyway. Its a very good model. One of
the best I have ever owned. I have about 3500+ flights on 2 Smaragds.
Flying then now on the 4th year.

One well known flyer didn’t notice that the tube had been moved back in
the wing and mounted the tube in the original
location on the fuse. Of course that made the wing 1 inch too far
forward but it didn’t seem to affect the flying much if any.
