Default RE: PT20 - CG Location?

Measure the wing chord (distance from the leading edge to the trailing edge)

Take 25% of this measurement.

Balance the plane at this distance back from the leading edge to start out with.

You may be able to shift the balance point back a small amount later on, but the 25% point is a good starting point.
