Default C.G. for an E-Z-Long

Does anyone know where the C.G. is for this canard? I'm asking for a friend who is not a member of RCU.(believe it or not, there are some RC'ers out there that have never heard of RCU - Amazing) At any rate, this is a 75 powered aircraft with a fuse that's about 6 feet long, and of coarse the two wings, one of which is aprox 5 feet in span.
Would like to help this guy out. Anyone familiar with this plane?

Is this a kit of a Long EZ or is it a scratch built bird? I am building one and can tell you the CG when I get home if it is the ST Croix or Fusco kit. Let me know and I will look at the plans.

This sounds like a Quickie, not a Long EZ. Here's a pic:

or does it look like this:

The first is a Quickie, the second a Long EZ. If a Quickie, what worked for me was to treat both wings as a single big wing, find the MAC for the imaginary new wing, the find the percentage of the MAC.

I hope this helps,

Daren

I have the CG for both kits, just let me know which airplane you have and I will give you the dimensions.
