Default RE: Balancing Question

For a start try putting the balance point at 33% of the mean aerodynamic chord. That's for taper wings. For straight wings 33% of the chord. I should be slightly nose down, about 3 to 5 degrees. Unless it is a radical free flight design that will work about 98.9% of the time.
