Hi

I have that model kit and just purchsed another a built one from a friend. On the plan the CG is 3 3/4" back from the the leading edge of the at the fuse.

Or 11 3/4" back from the FRONT of glass cowl. The throws, I don't know yet. Be ready to put in a bit of nose weight/

Well according to the plans That I have here is the following;

A 1/2" up and down
E 1/2" up and down
R 1" left and right
C/G about 3 3/4" from the lead edge at the root. Plus or minus about a 1/4" . A little nose heavy is a good place to start. But check your C/G with retracts in the up or retracted position, as this the way you will be flying it.
Send some photo's.
Good luck and have fun!!!

As said above balance with retracts up, and balance plane inverted.
