No, I didn't check CG, but I'm sure I will next time! Can it affect to the point that it's almost impossible for a relative beginner to fly? We tried to find it, but our field is surrounded by many little canals and heavy brush - can't even reach the area where I believe it went down. Hopefully, someone else may be more familiar with the land and knows a way to get around it.
Til then, I stick to my trusty old trainer.
