L1 light plane

A fictional, fun and easy-to-fly single-engine high-wing prop monoplane. Group 1 is for lights. Recommended trim is at the bottom, as it tends to nose-dive slightly (although this is less prevalent at high speeds). Any tips on how to make the tail heavier on tricycle-undercarriage aeroplanes, without the whole caboodle tipping backwards onto the ground, is appreciated!

@Inuyasha8215 I did use a Cessna 172 for the basic design, yeah
It looks like a very short Cessna 172
@Htsp It is my first plane as well
I almost forgot: takeoff speed is (minimum) 130-140 km/h (~84mp/h); recommended landing speed is 160-170 km/h (~100 mp/h).
Not bad
