Default TGA F-15 CG Location

I'm setting up an old Top Gun F-15 and can't remember the CG location for the plane. I don't have the manual anymore for the plane, but I remember measuring it back from the wing root, only I can't remember the distance. Can someone help me out here? THANKS!

The balance point is 11" measured down the leading edge of the wing. Randy

Just want to clarify--Measure 11" from the wing root out the LE of the wing and then connect the two points across the belly? Just want to make sure this is the method and measurement you are talking about. Back when I set up my first one, I thought they gave a measurement back from the wing root along the fuse. THANKS!!!

Ivan Munninghoff recommends 2" behind the front edge of the hatch opening.

This is the same as the "11 inches out from the wing root on the leading edge of the wing" measurement mentioned above according to the Top Gun manual.
