Default Columbo Anderson 34% Extra Need Help

Got a quick question for you guys:
What is the CG for this plane (34% CA 34% Extra 300)?
Also what are the throws in degrees for all surfaces?

Just got every thing hooked up but dont have a manual to go from.

Thanks guys

Seth

Start with youre CG on the centre of the wing tube, the throws listed above look like a good starting point, they are around about how mine is set up. I f you have a 100 in it with everything up front you will have a nose heavy airplane. To trim the model properly I added 1 deg of upthrust to the engine. You will find this is an awsome flying airplane when it is set up right.

Lube those wheel axles good. Read about a couple, myself included, of the wheels seizing up. And the covering, HOT iron.

Take a look here also.

Seth, the Spanish manual that I just check from CAModel says that the CG of this model is on the center of the wing tube with the airplane face down.
