Many many times I have used the manufacturers CG measurement and then once out in the field flying I did not like the performance of the model so I went back to my old method of balancing on the wing rod.....(using a string with a loop in each end that is put over the wing rod).... and moving forward from there to find the perfect spot.

Not scientific at all....basically just balancing the model
