Default RE: Bi-plane wings

An easy way to pick a starting point (if the wings are of the same size) is to look at the projection of the surfaces looking straight down from above and set the CG at 25 % of the projected area. With positive stager this would be 25 % of horizontal component of the distance from the leading edge of the upper wing to the trailing edge of the lower wing measured from the leading edge of the upper wing.
