Default RE: CG issues

Thanx I see it now,that would make the factory CG correct. I have measured the CG again on a device I built and have used on all my planes at it is at factory spec. But it is almost impossible to get the plane to balance the slightest movement back or front will cause it to tilt . This must be caused by the engine location (On the top of the tail). If I balance the aircraft upside down I get the same reading but it is far less sensitive. All threads on this aircraft show discrepecies with the CG but no one has an answer yet. It would seem to me that CG on this plane is very critical as shown buy the difficulty of balancing it. I am still not sure how much if at all to move it forward.
Thanx for getting back to me so soon.
