Default RE: Center of Gravity "CG" Computations

CG is usually measured as a % of MAC ( Mean Aerodynamic Cord), the MAC of a wing can be figured out by squaring the wing as depicted in enclosed drawing. Once you have your MAC it is just a matter of deciding what % is desired for CG. On a aerobatic mono-wing airplane 28-30% is a good place to start.
