Default Question about Great Planes Super Aeromaster

I am helping a friend with his super aeromaster. In transport between our houses we have misplaced the fuselage planes. Does anybody know the cg for the short angled top wing and straight short wing configuration? Also what is the distance between the thrust washer and the fire wall? Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Here's a link to the full manual at the Great Planes web site:

This kit is next up on my building board.

I'll try to remember to dig it out and look at the plans/book for you when I get home this evening.

You are talking about the 60 size, right?

How odd. They only make mention that it appears on the plans.

Since Configurations 1 & 2 are so similar with the only difference being that the lower wing is shorter on #2, it's probably OK to try the CG at the same location as for Configuration 2.

Thrust washer location is referenced to front of cowl - 1/8".
