Optimum ZFW CoG for B747-8F
 
With today's world being governed by Bean-Counters and fuel prices, we have become accustomed to load planning a freighter for an optimum ZFW CoG for fuel conservation.

In the Classic B747 and B747-400F this varies from airline to airline, but is commonly anywhere from 28% MAC to as far back as 31% MAC.

For those of you with experience of the new B747-8F, what is the optimum ZFW CoG target in your experience?
