Default Finding CG

I was just thinking about building a little somthing to play with, and the first problem I think I would run into is knowing where CG would be. Thinking more I think I remember hearing or reading that if you take the aircraft and hang it level by the rear fuse and forward spinner by a string a center hanging stirng would point at CG. The pic is an example of what im thinking. Red is the string.
