The CG is shown on the plans. Here they are again in case you missed them the first time. Set your alierons up for 8-12 degrees low/high rate, elevator about the same and lots of rudder (till it almost touches the elevator halves). That should get you into the ball park. Remember, this is not a 3D airplane, a common mistake is to use WAY too much control throw. Think smooth and graceful.
