Default Where should I put CG on Lanier 80" cap?

The manual says the wing tube for CG but I have read 1" in front of the tube for non-3D flying. The newer manual may be clearer.......I got one of the first ones out.


mglavin, how right you are! A tail heavy Cap can be a handful...!!!
My Hanger9 25% made a few flights after I played with the CG.
I left it a tad tail heavy but there is a point when to tail heavy where the elevator is almost uncontrolable
It was a puckerer for a few minutes

aftcg I can't remember the wieght for the Tartan, I "think" it was around 4 lbs/exhaust
