Right out of the manual....

...."The balance point is 5-3/4" back from the leading edge, where the
wing meets the fuselage. The airplane should be balanced upside down on
the balancer."

Balance the model laterally as well.

Control throws:
Ailerons: 3/16 -1/4 up and down
Elevator: 1/4 -3/8" up and down
Rudder: 3/4 -1" left and right.

FBD.
