Default Hovering Cobra question

Hi! I was wondering if anyone know where is the CG of the Hovering Cobra. I bought this fun fly without the plans so I have no idea where is suppose to be the CG.

Thanks in advance!

If its balsa with a built up wing...ive been tought by very experienced guys at my field that a decent starting point is at the spar of the wing.

can anyone else confirm? Ive always had the CG measurement, so ive never had to test this theory with blind faith.

Safe first time CG is at 25-30% of the chord including ailerons.
