The CG will have a lot to do with which prop and which engine you use 
and your particular build.  My bird, with 912S (lighter engine) and 
Airmaster (much heavier than warpdrive), ballances right about 60" with 
the 680 battery on top the right footwell.  My build is probably a bit 
different than most, as I, not being one to trust "miracal" adhesives, 
added a few layers of BID to the fuse joint, all around.  This, of 
course would add some weight to the rear of the plane.  It's hard to go 
out of CG, with two occupants and enough baggage to get to gross weight. 
  Even with less fuel, it seems to stay in CG.
