Default RE: Center of Gravity? LE or TE?

The safest range is usually somewhere between the middle of the manufacturer's specified range to the forward most point, the one closest to the leading edge. I would steer clear of the rear location until I knew the plane.

On a scale plane, I would guess that anywhere would be fine, especially since the planes is aimed at the sport flier and since I have heard that Kyosho is a reputable manufacturer.

I would still put the CG forward for the first test flight.
