Default RE: Balancing a canard or tandem wing biplane for initial flight.

Same procedure.

CG should be forward the center of lift created by the two wings or the stab and wing.

If there is fuel tank and it is located aft the CG, it should be full as normal for proper balance (worst tail heavy condition in real flight).

My personal preference is level fuse rather than nose slightly down.
