Does any body have an idea where the centre of gravity should be on the Great Planes Sportster 40 Biplane?

The answer is 1 7/8" bottom wing. The information is available @ http://www.greatplanes.com/techsupport/technotes.html under discontinued models. I would love to find one of these planes.

The manual goes into a bit more detail with respect to CG location vs. elevator throw. Try this link to the manual. The CG info is near the back of the document.
