Default Wing Design Question

Most of our current pattern airplanes seem to have CG ranges that are pretty similar, as a percentage of MAC. Seem to be 25-27% for designs I'm familiar with.

Would those of you who know what % MAC your CG is located, please reply with the number, and the name of the airplane design? Thanks!

Is the Insight (and Excelsior) "double tapered", with LE sweeping back, and TE sweeping forward?

Bob,

The Insight is a double taper.
