Jon,

The plans show the CG at 3-3/4" back from the leading edge of the wing (1/8" in front of the Main Spar), or about even with the front of the 2nd window on the fuselage. Adjust to suit your flying style, maybe an 1/8" at a time, this plane is very short coupled, so a little change can make a big difference.

BTW, there was an interesting article in Flying Models magazine (Feb 07) by Dean Pappas in R/C Pattern section on trimming a trainer for better performance and he does mention the flat bottom wing like the LB has. Not that the LB will ever be a pattern plane , it sure is a fun sport plane .
Thanks Skylark, Thanks a ton for the CG location. I sure wish I could figure out just what I did with my plans, now my grand daughter wants a lazybee so I guess I will have to give her mine, I'd build her a new one if I could find my plans or buy some new ones but it seems they are no longer available. I'll have to strip this one down and recover it as it has hanger rash to the wing that no creme would ever heal. Thanks again and Happy New Year to you all. The Vagabond , Jon
