Most likely it's because the stuff in back is heavier 
than on my bagged Supra:

tail feathers
boom
pushrods
V-mount
fin attachment

I anticipated this and specified the molded pod to be longer in front,
but apparently not long enough.  Anyway, it's easy to check the weights 
of all the bits above and see where most of the added tail weight is.
