The best CG (center of gravity) for airplanes is different for each plane design. Usually measured in inches behind the leading edge of main wing near the fuselage (body). See if you can find a thread on your specific plane in this or other forums (try goggle) to see what CG folks are using. Or maybe contact builder to see what is recommended.

On a conventional straight wing plane 1/3 of the way back from the leading edge is a good starting point. On swept wings or deltas or canards it is anybodies guess.

Any landing you can taxi back from is a good landing!

Thanks ... Yeah it's for a delta wing.... Trial and error I guess.

I'll take a pic today and post it... First attempt resulted in mild success with the wing being very pitchy.
There's a seller on eBay that sells a power package for 18 bucks. It includes Esc,motor,prop and motor mount. Anyhow before I spend alot if time on a wing design I want to figure out this cg problem.

Best bet it so figure out where you think it should be, then move it forward.

Forward CG, plane flies poorly, but it flies.

Rearward CG, plane crashes.

Any questions?
