Hi All Great forum
First question can you name the plane?
Help me find where the CG should be to start?
Plane specs are Length 30" wingspan 36"
the plane is tail heavy just a little when the CG is around 2 " from leading edge if it looks ok than ill leave it no weights on yet
The plane is a old art that friend started and couldnt finish and trying to finish it for him
any other questions and comments are welcome
Thanks John

My Feedback: (1)
Tequila Sunrise as sold by Hobby people in the past.
Flys well if you balance at the quarter chord or 25% mean aerodynamic chord, measured at mid span (thats half way between the fuselage side and the wingtip.
These airplanes did not seem to last long and beleve it was because folks commonly tried to fly them at 30% and that airplanes dos not fly well that far back.

Thanks John and Cars
I will measure the aerodynamic cord later and make sure it is around the 25% you suggested
And thanks for finding a review for me that's real cool
Thanks Again John
