RE: Shoestring CG?
I assume you've uploaded the manual and found the C.G.
But if not...
Mark the C.G. on the bottom of the wings 3-3/16" back from the leading edge where it contacts both sides of the fuselage. You can go 7/16" forward and back from there. The model is balanced upright (supporting it by the bottom of the wings where you marked the C.G.).
