Default CG on Extra Special

Can someone tell me where the CG for the Extra Special should be at the root of the wing? I cannot do tips (no room and no help)....

I just did mine, and I believe it came out at 5 inches back from the leading edge at the root. Put your wings on your wing tube minus the fuselage. Mark your tips at 3 1/2", stretch a string from mark to mark. Now you can put a mark anywhere on that string line(equal distance on both halves) and balance the plane.
