Not per the plans, but if you start about 3/4" ahead of the spar you should be able to avoid crashing long enough to figure out which direction you want to go.
Edit:
Given that you now know the plans position I'm halfway-deleting my comment. It still stands in that a way-forward CG is a good place to start (because a forward CG is bad, but a backward one can be disastrous), but assuming a halfway competent and diligent designer, the plans CG is much better.
