Thanks Art-J!
I would be curious to know this, since you seem to know: I know that for stability reasons the center of drag should be behind the center of gravity: That is pretty much a given.
What I am curious about is whether the center of lift is always behind the center of gravity, or if it does make sense that it would be ahead of the CG if we take into consideration the center of lift of the wings in isolation of the rest of the airframe?
Another issue I would like to know about: Is the wing's center of lift generally considered as moving forward at all when the angle of attack of the wings is increased?
Basically I am looking at stability issues vs thrust location.

P.S. (As an aside, one other thing I would be curious about is if there are any pusher prop-only monoplane aircrafts with unswept wing leading edges?
Of the top of my head, I can only come up with pusher-prop monoplane types that have a lot of leading edge sweep.)
