Zrooster,
I balanced slightly forward of the recommended CG in the book. I can't remember the recommended number. I think it was 145mm from front edge of wing center. Google the manual for the ESM D9 .pdf and it will come up. This plane as all FW-190 do not like to be tail heavy. It gets real pitchy.

Heres a pic of the plane after its second paint job.
