I asked the question from Zenith as to the pros and cons of reversing the u/c leaf .Recieved the following reply; Moving the main wheels forward will make the aircraft more pron to falling on its tail when using the cabin access step to climb on the wing. The reason you may want to move the main wheels as far as possible and (within reason so you can still use the step) is to reduce the weight on the nose wheel. Less weight on the nose wheel shorter take off distance. Cheers T87
