Granddad1,
Respectfully, I know you did not ask this question but it worked for me. Please take a look at this calculator.

Its a simple calculator to figure out your CG range. It takes a tape measure and about 5 minutes use. That includes taking the dimensions, inputting them and getting the results.

Some people will suggest that the CG is located at the thickest point of the wing, at the main spar of even suggest that it is at the wing tube. Perhaps these suggestion could get you close but with a straight leading edge wing that tapers like the EDGE does, it could be a recipe for disaster.

My 2 cents,

Mark

If this is their 25% "Baby" Edge, the manual says 4.5" behind the leading edge. Hope this is of use.
