Default CG for newbie
G'day guys,
Just getting my first plane ready for a lesson.
I've got a Vmar Apache III with an OS 46FX engine using a JR-X378(I intend on only buying one radio)

My question is, What's the best method of measuring the CG?
I notice the manual shows the CG just below the cabin on the fuselage.

Should I use my finger tips on the tips of the wing? Or how about a ruler under the fuselage?
Maybe using my fingertips at the point shown in the manual?

Any thoughts on the best method? I don't have a CG rig of any sort.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
