Default Diamond CG

Manual says 645mm along the wings leading edge from the root ( just in front of gear ) so exactly where is the CG on leading edge or back in middle of wing in front of gear ? Thanks Terry

Is the included diagram not descriptive enough?

No not really . You could take it that the balance point is on the leading edge . Or is further back from leading edge towards landing gear block ? Sorry not getting it . Thanks Terry

Yes Terry, it is on the leading edge, 645 mm outwards from the wing root.
This equates to being aft of the leading edge at the root, slightly forward of main landing gear.

There you go. CG location but you can go back a bit with no issues since most of the tank weight is in front of the CG
Let me know if you have any questions.
