Default RE: Delta static margin

Yes - what I was looking for was a recommended CG position for delta wings or low aspect ratio flying wings. A reference I found yesterday recommended 10% of mean aerodynamic chord ahead of the aerodynamic center - which is a typical setting for a conventional aircraft too, where 10-15% is recommended for normal control responsiveness.
