Default Soar Birdy Info requested

I was given a Soar Birdy glider already built with an outdated radio which I will have to replace in order to fly it legally. The problem is that I do not know anything about this glider and most importantly where the cg is in relationship to the leading edge of the wing. Since I am going to replace the radio I will need to know where the balance point is. Having never flown a glider before, but have many hours in powered r/c I look forward to the challenge. If anyone has any info at all about this glider I would appreciate the info. Thanks

I had one years ago, I think you can feel the spar, balance it there.
