Default Tribute CG

I have just completed my Tribute 36 with an OS 45. The manual said that the CG should be 4 1/2" from the leading edge. I wanted to know if this is the best CG setting or if I should go a little back? Say maybe 4 3/4". What are the advantages to the CG further back. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Default Re: Tribute CG

I'd start at what the manual says then fly it and see how it feels. I like my profiles pretty neutral, so they fly the same inverted as they do up right. If you roll inverted you should need very little to no elevator to fly level.
