Converting a Old Quickie 500 into a Electric Need CG!!??

Where is the CG for the Quickie 500?? A friend of mine had one that's been put up for a while!! Trying to convert it into a electric and I need the proper CG. Any help would be great!

Thanks

The CG should be fine in the range of 2 5/8" to 2 7/8" back from the leading edge.

Thanks!! Just throw a huge lipo in it!! want to get it close the first time! Right now with the motor I have I am around 100amps and 2100 watts on a 12x12 prop. Should be fun! I wish I had a motor with I higher kv rating so I could kill a 10x10!!!! anyway hope to get it a try tomorrow!!!

i have converted several and had a problem getting the cg forward enough. The electric motor does not weigh as much as the nitro engine and I could not get large capacity lipos forward enough for the correct cg. I could stuff smaller lipos up against the firewall, but not the larger 4 and 5 cells. Similar struggles with placement of the HV ESC.
