The center of gravity is located 3-1/4” back from the leading edge of the wing, at the fuselage sides. This location is recommended for initial test flying and trimming. There is a 3/8” margin forward and a 1/4” margin aft. It is not recommended that the center of gravity be located any farther back than 3-1/2”. Balance the Right Flyer 40T Mk. II with the fuel tank empty.

What is the chord of the wing? Measure from leading edge of wing to trailing edge of aileron.
From what I have read, a safe starting point is 25% back from the leading edge. If the chord is 12 inches, balancing at 4 inches should be safe.
If you have never flown RC planes, please put your zip code in the search box at http://www.modelaircraft.org/clubsearch.aspx and try to contact a local flying club for help. Most AMA chartered clubs have volunteer instructors who will teach you how to set up the model and fly it safely. You will have to join AMA and the club to get the "free" training.
