I think Layout-03 (ala B6 etc) COULD be better suited to high-bite than Layout-01? Simply because with the Lipo in front of the motor, you can add a 50-80g weight under the Lipo creating more forward weight overall. It's quite hard to do that when you have the motor in the middle!

Thoughts?

Screenshot for demonstration -

For sure you could throw a lot of weight forwards on Layout-3 like that, but you could get the same balance with less overall weight by using Layout-1 with a LCG LiPo fully forwards.

One thing's for sure Layout-4 gives us an option with more rear bias than was possible with the KF2.

Another consideration is the impact of the torque effect from the motor in the different positions. Of course all layouts are now reverse motor rotation. You could match the weight distribution across a few of those layouts, but they could still feel different.
