hey keener did you fly it yet I've got one of the early ones and it has no marks at all for cg location etched in the plane. I need a good conservative cg I like my planes a tad nose heavy and I'm very leery of trusting the cg location they give with planes anymore they all seem to be set for expert only flyers . I have seen more planes go to an early grave that way .... I lost a 50cc plane last year that way first flight and it was so tail heavy we barely got it back to the field unfortunately the landing was just a little hard kinda stuffed the landing gear right thru the bottom of the plane turns out they were an inch and a half off on the cg . I'm thinking of balancing mine if front of the tube ???

CID and everyone else.
Flew it today and CG was perfect. It balances in the center of the wing tube. Inverted it held 45 degree angle and slows down to land with no bad habits.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions.
