Mehrdad, I have flown 2 Nyx's (F3J, LT) both at 4.5" behind the LE. For me this plane really came alive at this CG. That said, you need to be careful with the plane tucking, a good centering servo on the elev. helped me out. Keep the Nyx moving between thermals, a little full span camber while thermaling. One of the best turning planes I've ever flown. I think a 4.45 or 4.4 cg location would be safer to use at great distances.
