Here you go, string is attached at the 370mm point from the rear of the tip tanks so it's at the furthest forward point. Cof G is at 7 1/8 inches from the front of the wing.
I have flown mine at this point for the first 15 flights I then added added another 1 oz into the nose, this gave me a little extra push forward on the elevator when inverted which I prefer, without it inverted was neutral at centre stick and it also made it just a little less sensitive on the elevator.
The Flash flies fine either way just my personal preference.
