Here is a site where you can just plug in some measurements and it will calculate the cg for you.

Also, because it is a decathelon, they probably do have the cg a bit forward because that would make it more stable.

For the kind of flying that plane does, the CG is right where it should be. I've built maybe 6 or 7 decathlons, and a foward CG is best IMO. I'm going to build another one soon, probably the dynaflight. Let me know how it flies......
