Here you go. The CG is set by measuring back from the front of the fuse (space between the spinner and front of the fuse) 18 3/4 inches back to give you the CG. I knew it was something different on how they measured the CG for this bird but couldn't remember how they did it until I looked at the plans/ins. As far as throws goes... no mention on what to set it up for. Set the throws as you would a trainer plane and give a little more on the dual rates and that should get you where you need to be. Make adjustments from there to your likings/feel. Hope this gets your LA1 in the air!
