the CG is usually 1/4 of the wing root cord width. The 3 1/4 inch that you suggested would make the wing 13 inches and my wing is only 11 inches. 1/4 of my wing width would be 2 3/4 inches. May I ask what the root cord width is of your wing?

This kit was originally designed around the sterling Fledgling. It was a trainer from I believe the early 70s. So the C.G. is more than likely back farther than needed just for stability. The farther forward the quicker the plane will react to pitch.
