The Ercoupe has a constant chord wing. The CG should be 30% of the chord behind the leading edge. Dan.

And for some reason, BUSA never puts a pdf of the manual on their site. 30% of the m.a.c. is always correct for a hershey-bar wing. You'll like the plane; like the full-scale, it flies on the gentle side. Fun and relaxing.

I have a Saito 300 twin dual carb dual plug model in it. Seems like plenty of power.
