Could work if the turbine, fuel, weapons, and other heavy components are placed in the front, leaving the aft to be mostly a hollow tube.
Applying trim is going to be a bitch, though. Stability around center of pressure is going to be abysmal, so you better not subject that thing to any high (>0.00001º) AoA.

If the center of gravity is close to the center of lift, yes. Irregardless of the pilot’s location.
