Default Pica Waco cg?

Hi, I'm restoring a 1/6 scale Pica Waco bi-plane and wondered if anyone knew where the cg is supposed to be. Also, I'm thinking of using a 4 stroke and wonderd what size I should use. Any suggestions. Thanks, JT in Monroe NC.

We'll try this again.

Mine flew great on an OS 70 4 stroke, but I had to make a lead plug that filled up the crankcase recess on the engine to balance.

As for CG, this has always worked for me.

JT,
Plans show CG @ 4 1/2" aft of leading edge of top wing.
Good luck.
