once trimmed at this cg no trimming during flight. It feels very solid. I know it seems far back but I started at 310 and kept moving back till 345. Probably could
even go back touch more but I like the way it flys and lands so I’m done with cg moving.

good news about this plane is it flys fine heavy so if you wanted to add some weight to tail it would handle no problem to see if you like further back cg? Then you could figure what gear to move if you wanted weight gone.

anyway enjoy flying it!!!!
