When a model is "excessively" nose heavy, it will be very sluggish on the controls. Because it is nose heavy, the nose will tend to drop with neutral elevator. To correct with up elevator, the model will not immediately respond until a lot of up elevator is applied and then the nose will start to rise, but the response will be slow. Then when the nose rises, the model will start to climb and neutral elevator will not necessarily stop the climb, it will take a noticeable amount of down elevator to get the nose to rotate and the response will be slow. You end up having to add elevator control almost 1/2 a lap before you see the response in either situation. The model will look like it is on a roller coaster. Then when there is any wind say approaching more than 7 or 8 mph, the situation is exacerbated as it goes around the circle. (Don't ask me how I know.) If the model becomes more and more nose heavy (as in carrying more fuel forward of the CG), the elevators will not be able to lift the nose and essentially becomes uncontrollable.
So, when a model is really really excessively nose heavy (a new term for all of you aerodynamicists), the elevators will not have enough authority to lift the nose. That is a factor in the determination of the most forward CG on full size aircraft.
