Default Dave Patrick ultimate C.G

The way I balance my Goldberg Ultimate is to find the stated point as a measurement from the leading edge of the bottom wing. Lets say 1.5" from the leading edge. I mark this spot on the side of the fuse, down close to the bottom wing. Flip it upside down and balance it at that point. I was hoping for a measurement on the DP Ultimate like the one I was used to with the Goldberg(i.e. x-amount from the leading edge of the bottom wing, balance upside down)

I am a little confused about the cabane measurement. Are you balancing 1" in front of the front support of the cabane? There are two points where the cabane attatches to the wing. I've flown tail heavy before for not too long.
