CG on Focus II
The correct CG should be 1/4" in front of the front edge of the wing tube. The airplane does not benefit from a rear CG. The incidence set-up is as follows:
Place the fuselage on a flat work surface. Block up the tail post 1". The wing should have about 1/4 degree positve incidence and the stab should have 1/4 degree negative as a starting point.

Rusty and Stix have it right. 1/4" in front of the wing tube. Great flying plane there. Locks in great. I picked up Rusty's Focus in Phoenix and it was new when it showed up there...5 days later I won Masters with it. Plane tracks very well there,

RE: CG on a Focus II
Mine just checked out right there. Weight ended up 4414g (9lb - 12oz). The light weight is most likely due to not using the fiberglass pipe tunnel and no wheel pants (can't fit it in my car with wheel pants). Should have it in the air next weekend.
