Default RE: Calculating C.G.

Caps - heavy ones ar snappy-light ones are docile -excellent flyers - best CG for all but the hang-on-the-prop-stuff is 25%-on CAPS
- that's 25%of the average chord- no calculations or tools required - a yardstick is plenty of tooling.
The crappy about snappy all came from a series of absolutely wretchedly overweight CAPS sold by Great Planes in the mid 1980's -many modelers bought these and the rep quickly grew .
A scale CAP has a quite small (relatively) stab and is close coupled - built correctly is still one of the best aerobatic setups .
