I got this plane in monday, and there is only a one sheet list of directions. There is nothing about the center of gravity or balance of this model. This is my second plane and would like some help on this COG business please.
thanks

Many of these smaller RTF planes do not list the C.G. because the included hardware already puts the balance where it belongs, once the plane is fully assembled and the pack loaded.
Set it up as if you were going to fly it. Then find the balance point by holding the plane with your finger tips at the wing root.
Mark where the plane balances.
This point should be in front of the 25% MAC of the wing.
