Default CoG for a F-18 Hornet EDF

Hi all, I have aquired an unfinished "clone" of a HET F-18 Hornet EDF ARF.

Construction is almost done, however I have no instructions for it and knowing what I do about the aircrafts design, I realise the traditional CoG method of 1/3 chord is incorrect due to the LEX's.

I believe this model is of very similar dimensions to the HET ARF.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a CoG point?

Many thanks.

Thought some of the F-18 aficionados would like to see this. First flight of second Growler EA-18G.

If its a clone, it might not be exactly what HET recommends. Get your tape measure out and go to this site and you will get the exact COG http://sky.prohosting.com/air2/cg_calc.htm
