Default RE: MIG 27 drone C/G

I wouldn't necessarily call it a swept-back configuration, although it gives a slight "appearance" of such. The trailing edge of the wing is in fact perpendicular to the fuse. The model in question is the old styrofoam MIG 27 drone often used for aerial targeting, designed for a .61 although I plan to upgrade slightly to a .75. I've always heard and read in the past that 1/3 of the wing chord is generally a safe guideline for the CG when in doubt, but hoping someone out there has something more definitive for better results. I don't have any pics of the plane, although many members here on RCU have posted theirs. Awaiting responses....thanks for your replies, Brian
