Default RE: Balancing 1.6m electric power glider

Don't the plans say where it's supposed to be balanced? If not then shift stuff around until it balances at 28 to 30% of the root chord and try flying it. This is assuming a more or less normal looking wing planform. If it's highly tapered then post up some pics. If it's just the usual tip taper then the numbers above should do the trick.
