This is all on the first few pages of any aviation PPL textbook, really very elementary part of aeronautical knowledge.
Yup, I am still in the elementary stage, hence the reason I put my hand up and asked the question. FWIW, I just looked up my text book and can confirm that is says most conventional aircraft have the CoG foward of the CoP. I have not studied in 20 years, so not am I only learning about flying, I am also learning to study again!
