Default Carf Classic Flash CG from wing trailing edge

Can some one provide me with the CG measurement for the Classic Flash but measured from the wing trailing or leading edge? Mine is modified and has no tip tanks. But is the classic wing

Here you go, string is attached at the 370mm point from the rear of the tip tanks so it's at the furthest forward point. Cof G is at 7 1/8 inches from the front of the wing.
I have flown mine at this point for the first 15 flights I then added added another 1 oz into the nose, this gave me a little extra push forward on the elevator when inverted which I prefer, without it inverted was neutral at centre stick and it also made it just a little less sensitive on the elevator.
The Flash flies fine either way just my personal preference.
