Default RE: Center of gravity

For that type of plain vanilla untapered wing, with the tail the size relative to the wing and where it is, the c.g is just a percentage of the root chord (including the aileron chord).
Your 25% location would be considered conservative, making for a very stable airplane.
For more activity, going back to 30% would increase the manuverability, if you would care to do that.
