I hate to keep beating a dead horse, but I'm now balancing my TopRC Hawker Hunter and I want to address the CG location again. In my original post, I noted the manual says 2 different measurements "from the same location". Well, I was wrong, it gives 2 different numbers from TWO different locations. The inside of the manual gives 240mm from the outer tip of the air inlet. The cover of the manual states 290mm from the tip of the wing root joint. Note in my scaled photo that there is close to a 1 inch difference in those two reference locations. So where is your reference location for the 290-300mm measurement? Thanks for the help!

The .98" is the difference between the two CG starting points. I didn't show the 240mm because almost everyone agrees that is not the right number.
