According to the building instructions, it calls for CG to be 2 1/2 in. from leading edge. Also you can order the building video from Combat models for $20.00. It's a pretty decent video showing step by step on putting it together.

as a matter of fact,it flew just fine,with a TT .46 pro on the tail,turning an 11x7 pusher apc,took a little longer to get off the grass,about 100 ft. or so,climbed good,only problem with this models design,is it does not handle well at slow speeds,it takes full flaps to land,and it is still 60mph+! i tried it alittle nose heavy,alittle tail heavy,and dead on balance at 2 1/2" from LE. no change in its handling. at full boogie,she flies like an A-10 should,banks are cool and short,rolls suck,loops suck,don't even think about a snaproll,but,the real thing isn't very aerobatic either.actually,it is probably pretty ill handling for most people,i wouldn't reccomend it to anybody.after about 4 flights,i took the engine off,servos,radio gear and hung it up in the garage. it now is a cool static. hope that answered your question. later
