Default SKYMASTER HAWK100 ELEVATOR NEUTRAL POINT?

There are several post in another thread about the neutral point of the elevator. There is confusion between the regular Hawk and the Hawk 100. MY QUESTION IS FOR THE HAWK 100. Where is the neutral point for the elevator. Preferably measured from the trailing edge of the elevator to the edge of the tail cover that covers the elevator servos.

A picture with a ruler showing the exact points used for measurement would be very much appreciated so there is no confusion.

Thanks!

Measured from here on the Hawk 100 would be great.

I have a 160SX so will be using that...T45 for me...

I have the D4S lights too, mine will be some combination of the Hawk/T45, I am not sure that I have time to modify the tail this season. Also I am going to put the light in the nose like a Hawk versus T45..

Merry Christmas

Ryan, I'm just shy of 1/2 inch from your reference point.
