Default RE: spars and cg

If you are using an airfoil, then put the spar on the high point of the wing. This is where all the forces happen, regardless of the CG location.

If you are using a Flat plate wing, then go with 33% MAC for the spar location. It's a good spot for most applications. Wing sweep may be a factor...
