Default Bipe CG Balancer? Help



Hello,</p>

What Bipe CG balancer is on the market and not a fortune?

I bought a used Accel Hobby Pitts S2C 40 ARF, and it is already put together with motor and the seller tells me it is ready to fly, but, I want to verify the CG. But the cheap manual only states, that "the CG is loacted at the leadging edge of the lower wing."</p>

What the heck, it does not state, 0" or 1/2" or so many MM's from leading edge of bottom wing, so I am real confused and upset???</p>

My Great Planes CG machine only goes to a min of 5/8 from the leading edge of any wing.... So this has me real frustated and angry at yet another chessy &amp;</p>

lousy manual....</p>

Has anyone balanced one of these before?</p>


<u>This is my first Bipe</u>, and I tried or think I tried to balance, not sure....?
So tell me, my CG machine hits the bench if I try to get it to rest under the top wings at the middle of the front posts???</p>

So I tried to check the current balance from the person I bought it from, and using my CG machine on the bottom wing, it seems to balance at 45mm behind the leading edge of the bottom wing.... is this a correct way to balance???</p>

I read all the 4 pages in the link the floowing link, but he didn't give the CG point, bummer. And he switched engines in and out a few times from 2 stroke to 4 stroke, so I wonder how he balanced it ? move battery to rear somehow with a custom hole somewhere???

I was wanting to fly it today, but afraid too until I balance it???</p>

Thanks so much
