If you have trouble getting the nose down in either condition stick some weight in the nose. I added some sheet lead wrapped around the transvers spacer carrying the pedals (I thinK its been a long time) just below the point of the nose, I had the old chisel nose model,. Just wrapped several leaves on held with some jubilee clips. I lost engine power twice, both times through the teeth of the main prop drive belt stripping, so the prop stopped producing thrust even though the engine was runningand had no problems landing. Best course is do a proper C of G calc. The one in the building manual works fine.
