Hi!
Come on guys!
All you need to do is putting your two index fingers (or long fingers) under the wing where the supposed C of G is and notice if the airplane sits level or is ponting forward or tillting backwards. Simple as that!
Don't complicate things that don't need to be complicated.

Agreed. Please, somebody tell me the value of knowing the EXACT location of your cg, assuming it falls somewhere between 25 to 35% back along the mac? And after you tell me, I will simply ask you "how does it fly?"
