New plane for the hanger
I just bought this Ace Bingo ARF with a Thunder Tiger Pro series 61 off of ebay. This is my third plane for me, first was a H9 F-22, Park Zone Spitfire, now the Bingo. The plane is brand new, but did not come with instructions. Anybody know the CG and the recommended throws for it. Its already to go and cant wait for the next calm day to give it ithe maiden flight. Oh yeah, I only paid a $100 for it, with the motor.

Not a clue. As a rule of thumb: measure leading edge to trailing edge & come back 23% from the L.E. to begin with. Then fly it like you stole it. . . which is to say slowly and carefully so as not to attract anyone's attention.
Control throws? Just looking at it I'd say 5/8" +/- on the ailerons, 1" rudder and 3/4" elevator for first flights. It's very similar to a Sig Four-Star .60 from what I can see.

RE: New plane for the hanger
The guy I bought it from won it at a club raffle and never flew it. The Thunder tiger Pro Series 61 engine had a price tag of a $134 bucks alone, also had a prop and spinner on it too.
