Hold the model at the wingtips with your fingertips at the CG and experiment with different motor thrust angles until you reach equalibrium.
I've done this with scratch built models and it works.
I missed this bit of wisdom until baco mentioned it in his last post. There's a goodly amount of practical common sense to this method since the wing on most models is a very primary source of the overall drag in flight. I gotta keep that one filed away for when I need it myself!
Baco, the video looks great! You're making me think that it's time for a flying boat of my own...
