Default RE: Base Information for Unknown Center of Gravity

Its very simple for a straight chord wing such as a Cub and most Cubs are ideally flown at 25% mean aerodynamic chord or simply put the quarter chord.

Measure the distance from the leading edge to the trailing edge, divide this by four and the result is the distance back from the leading edge to set as your target CG.
