Default Re: 37% Krill Yak CG Location?

While you are waiting for a manual, you can get an estimate of the cg location using online calculators that are available on the web:

for a simple calculation based on the wing geometry, use
http://www.scaleaero.com/CG_Calculator.htm with %MAC BP = 30%

if you have a more complete set of dimensions, use
http://adamone.rchomepage.com/cg_calc.htm with a static margin of 10%

In either case, the cg will be fairly close to one another.

I decided to use these calculators because I got tired waiting for someone to provide a manual.
