Help finding the CG
Hi all I was wondering if someone could tell me how to find the CG on this plane so I can properly balance it? The airplane has a 72" wingspan and wing cord of 12". It weighs 7lbs 5 oz. Also what prop is best for the old Enya 60? Thanks

30% back or 3 1/2" from LE and between 11x7 to 12x6 should work.

RE: Help finding the CG
You may want to start at the 25% point (3" back from LE)
Remember to balance it upside down. I'll hang on your fingertips, rather than teeter on them if attempted right side up.
