If all else fails, contact John Craig at Iron Bay, http://www.ironbaymodelcompany.com/ They bought all the "Rights" to Byrons Birds and should be able to help you.

I flew the Byron KFIR-C2 from 1989 to 2000 and put a lot of flights on that bird. I will be home in a couple of hours and get the measurement for you. I'll even dig up a photo or two for you.
It is a great flying delta.

The CG is between 8 and 8.5 inches forward of the former that the fan is mounted in.

is it possible to measure it from the beginning of the wing, because there is no fan inside but a turbine.

As the fuselage begins to turn into the leading edge of the wing, it is 10.5 to 11 inches back from that point. My KFIR also weighs 13 lbs. Hope that helps.
