Default RE: Eaa biplane

I just bought an EAA Bipe already built at a local "fly-in" and it had no engine or any information (plans, construction manual) so I am looking for any info, such as C/G.

I did a Google Search and found the C/G should be 4 3/4" back from leading edge of the wing. I am "assuming" this is on the top wing.

I plan on "electrifying" it with a large Turnigy C5065-400 motor and a Turnigy Plush 80Amp motor controler. I will be using an A123 6s2p battery pack to supply about 24V at 4600 mAh of power.

Other than the C/G info, I also need to know the size prop most people fly the EAA Bipe. I will probably use a standard fuel prop, not an e-flight.

Thanks for any info!

Bill
