RE: Center of Gravity

Thought I'd add a bit more info.

With a low wing plane, you balance it the same way, except you do it with the plane upside down.

I'm posting a graphic that will let you determine the Mean Aerodynamic Chord (MAC) of almost any wing, and with the MAC you can ge the CG (which is usually 25% of MAC).

Good luck,
