Would you have any idea where the CG needs to be on this plane?

I've had one for years that was built but never flown and I am putting it together now.

Thanks.

I just aquirred a brand new Giles 202 by gator in an estate i bought. Does anyone have any info on this? I can't seem to find any information on Gator. Thank you so much!

The Giles 202 y Gator RC is basically a Typhoon 2000 wing and stab on a Giles type fuselage. It is a very nice flying plane. Very honest, rolls well, knife edge with little mixing and spins upright and inverted like a dream. Due to the size of the wing (over 1100 sq in) it is hard to get it to snap cleanly unless you are flying pretty slowly.

Mine weighted 10.5 lbs with an OS140RX in it. Plenty of power for most patterns.
