Ok, so clearly there is a gap here in my knowledge, and I guess I need to sort it out right about now!

This is how my brain is seeing it. I though rearward CoG means plane pitches up, requiring elevator input to pitch it down. What am I missing? Is the CoG always forward of the CoP when in the envelope?

Here I was thinking all confident, hoping to be able to do my BAK exam in 3-4 weeks time!
