Default Godfrey third scale Laser 200

I am resurecting a Bob Godfrey 1/3 scale Laser 200 from the 80's but have no plans. Does anyone have a set of plans that shows the CG?
It was powered by a 35cc Webra Bully on Glo.
Thank you,
Stuart

Stu, check on www.bobflies.com or PM a guy named "flyingskunks" on here. He is a Godfrey pilot/rep. ( i don't know to what degree but he flies godfreys and is probably the most knowledgeable guy about their planes next to mr. godfrey himself. Hope this helps............ You heading out tomorrow? I'll bring the cap if the weather holds up. Take care!

I tried the website when I needed info on the Godfrey Ultimate but they never got back to me and that was a more recent model. I'll be flying in the AM if the weather allows.

alright, btw stu do you know how to program a 12FG? I just got the radio yesterday and haven't been able to do anything yet with the cap because my 9c's pots were dead.......but if the weather's good i'll come out tomorrow. Let me know if you've had experiences with the 12 before? Its WAY different from my 9C. Also did you try e-mailing them aka the godfreys? They replied to my e-mails when i mailed them.....hmmm i don't know. Try donnie aka "flyingskunks" on here. He has the new godfrey laser, but might have some info for you. He's a great guy! Try it. Take care!

Send a PM to "flying skunks" and i am sure he will get Robert on the phone and get the info if he does not know it,i dont know if it is the same as the new laser prototype that he is flying now.

Thanks for the tips. I was able to confirm that the CG should be on the wing tube. After working on it till 12:30 last night the plane was ready for a flight. Unfortunately the engine wasn't. Webre Bully 35cc glow. It ran fine on a prime but would not pull fuel into the carb. Hopefully somthing blocking a passage in the carb and not a rotted diaphragm or similar that will not be replacable.
