Place on a table and prop the tail up as if in level flight. Drop a weighted string from the leading edge of the top wing and the trailing edge of the bottom wing. The distance between these two strings is your Mean or effective cord. Your CG should start around 25% of that figure. Mark it back from the leading edge of the top wing. I suspect you'll eventually end up around 28-30% but start with 25 and adjust from there.
