I had the CG at about 1/8" behind the LE of the wing tube. With those settings, it's a great flying plane. OTOH, Andrew and Jason had a lot of success flying them box stock and mixing out the anomolies.

Hi Verne,
I'm hoping you can help as I'm just putting together an Integral I acquired and the build instructions give the c of g as 205 mm behind the leading edge of the wing LE at the root, that puts it about 20mm behind the centre of the wing tube. I thought that looked a bit rearward so looked on here, the measurement you are giving (1/8th of an inch behind LE of wing tube) would equate to something like 173mm, quite a difference, I'm assuming you're right (and also that is where I would expect it be) but can Carf be that wrong?
