i bet someone out there knows what this is. the reason i would like to know is so i can find out where exactly the cg is.
You have a standard rectangular wing... measure the wing chord (distance from leading edge to trailing edge including aileron) devide that number by 4 and start there. This is 25% of MAC (mean air chord). Most planes (especially ones with wings like yours) will fly fine with this balance. You can tune that balance a bit after a few test flights.
