Regarding CG and W&B, the grove gear makes the tail quite heavier on ground, wich makes it harder to move the plane around if you have to lift the tail but when airborne, no difference E You can turn the gear 180 degs under the plane to get the tail a little lighter, because the gear blade is angled E The aft side would then be in the fwd direction EI got this info from a member of this list and confirmed with Grove E

I guess that is a good tip for the Grove gear. I have no reason to lift the tail, if it's to go over the bump when putting in the hanger, I find that if you go slow the tail wheel goes right over. I guess that would help if you do landings and the tail bangs down on the runway, I don't have that issue either so I guess I'll continue with the way it's set up. It would be real easy to do, but you might have an issue with brake line runs, will need new ones.
