If it's a true 1/6th scale with scale outlines, you can balance it about 4" back from the leading edge of the top wing. Or, with most biplanes, directly up from the leading edge of the bottom wing is usually a good place to start.

Mine is 4" back from the leading edge of the top wing (which is also directly above the leading edge of the bottom wing). Flies very well with that CG.
