I don't have reference other than JAA ATPL Aerodynamics textbooks and some (limited) knowledge from my studies.

Then you add the fuselage, engines, empenage etc., which MOVE the a.c. of the whole aircraft to a different position - but it still exists and is the point of neutral stability. However, I stand by to be corrected by the more knowledgeable
