Ultimate CG location?
Hi guys,
Please help my buddy locate the CG on this Ultimate. It's 70" ws and 76" long. Built from an unk kit about 15 years ago and never flown until now. I'm guessing the CG is at the lower wing's alum tube/spar, but not sure. It looks about right. Any help here would be appreciated.

Hi,
This calculator will give him the CofG for the Ultimate and virtually anything else. The figure derived will be conservative so he will need to experiment a bit to find what suits his flying style. My advice is to change things a little at a time, when I'm setting up a new model I move the CofG no more than 5mm before each test.
