Default CG question

Ok, I hope I dont sound like a fool here, but I need some quick info please. I know that with a top wing plane you balance it up right, with a low wing you balance it upside down, Now my question is how should you properlly balance a mid wing plane? up right? or upside down?Im Im about to start locateing the CG on my Funtana 90 and need that info please. Thank you.

This article will explain it for you. I mostly deals with balancing high and low wings, but it is explained in such a way that you can figure out any wing:

Mike, that is perhaps the best answer I have ever seen. The question is always being asked and I have to pull out a pencil and paper then go over it with whoever is asking. Sometime a lot more then once. Those pictures are worth more then a thousand words.

Thanks Gene. I have a simple philosophy to my articles: I explain things so that even *I* could understand them
