Default HELP ??

Can anyone tell where the balance point on a bipe should be ? It is a big bingo that I fitted two wings from a sig cap arf to. The top wing is 1" forword from the lower wing. I dont know if it should balance on the spar of top wing or father back? Thanks

Looking at from the top, measure from the leading edge of the top wing, to the trailing edg eof the bottom wing, and measure 30% of that. In other words, if the lower wing is 1 in. back, add 1. in to the top wing chord, and figure 30% of that. Should put you in a safe ballpark to start from.
