Default c of g help on mythus 2500 s

Hi all, i just got a 2.5m artf kit 'Mythus 2500 s' a cz made kit, the instructions are very very poor , a photocopied 7 page affair that is at best awfull! hard to read splattery print and very bad english used to describe the build. Ok the prob is the c'of'g here is how they describe it.....

'The models gravity centre can move 50-70mm after sliding the drive inside the acumulator from wing edge.
By moving the acumulators on a carrige arrange the gravity centre according to the allowence.'


Ok above was taken from the instructions, as my model is the 's' version not the 'e' (elec) i have no motor or batery pack, they give no other reference to c'of'g at all, so is my c'o'g supposed to be 50-70mm from the front of the wing or the rear measured foward?

I did alot of searching on net and not alot of info on this kit, any links/help/reviews would be great!!..

Thanks in advance James.

25-30% from the leading edge would be the spot where i would start. I'm sure you know this already, i just thought i'd post anyway. Try 25% and do some inverted flight and see if i pulls downward, if so, decrease noseweight. Try near the main spar if you can see it.I like my gliders near 30-40% from the leading edge. My 2 cents
