If by chance that you do buy from NP go over the whole plane and glue all the joints with thin ca, you order a cheap plane and your saving alot of money so put more time into it then to pay the higher price and as opjose said it would be wise to check the CG point on the same plane at different sites, the way i usually check my CG is to put your thumb and first finger on the leading edge and it will be close and you will be able to tell which way it is off, it is better to be a little nose heavy then tail heavy, but check out some other sites and you will find the corect CG point
