Bit of a problem here - the forward swept wing moves the COL (Center Of Lift) forward, thus allowing you to move the COG forward, but it doesn't actually move the COG very much. Bottom line: You might still have to use sandbags to keep it level on the ground. Suggestion: Try moving the rear undercarriage back as far as you can. Also, the COL forward move will somewhat lower your elevator authority.

Nice Please keep us informed.
