Default RE: Balancing a Bipe.... HOW???

Les has the right idea. I usually measure the total distance from the leading edge of the top wing to the trailing edge of the lower wing and use about 30% of that distance for a starting point. This is distance taken from two vertical lines not a total of the chord of both wings. Try it as the balance point on the top wing. First flight will tell you if it's close to being right. Make adjustments as necessary.
