I have read several places that conventional aircraft can be loaded such that the CG will force the tail to create lift.

I assume this means the CG will be aft of the 25% cord line, forcing the tail to lift, thus behaving like a tandam wing (canard)

Are there any certified or common kit build craft that allow a CG in this range? Or is this an obvervation that there are no examples of?

Thanks
