Default Sterling profile ringmaster balance point?

Hi all,

just finished a profile sterling ringmaster with a fox .35.

Where is the balance point? On the spar, or closer to the leading edge of the wing?

thanks

Bill

As a general statement, airplanes like the Ringmaster, Flitestreak, Magician, Twister, etc. will fly well with the CG at 15% of the average chord. If you start out there and don't have bad luck or do something irresponsible, you can make changes as needed after a couple of flights.
