Andy, I put the main gear back at x="-6.02" and added a <ballast> under the cockpit at 700 lbs and it handles very well. I even did some x-wind take offs and landings. Here the locking tail wheel helps in the initial acceleration. For strong x-winds, I think one uses differential power (and even differential brakes) in the initial acceleration phase until the rudder power kicks in.
I like the feel of this configuration. Try the attached "dc3.xml" file. Is it possible to get the actual CG location from yasim for a particular xml file?
