Default RE: C&G Machine / Balancing !!!!!!!!

Now remember this is an opinion!
CG is a starting point only.
Depending on the plane and how you fly, you may want it more nose heavy or tail heavy.
I normally fly with reduced elevator throws and slightly tail heavy.
SO for me, I am always aft of the CG point. Just remember that for all planes where the take is forward of the CG point, that it will always be nose heavy when you first take off. THen as fuel burns your CG moves back the the preset point.
Just fly the plane and move the CG forward or backward to get the plane to fly the way you like.
