ALO111:
The C160 has a straight, slightly tapered wing. You can't go wrong setting the CG at 28% of the chord at the side of the fuselage.

Yes thanx, I was thinking to go along those lines as there has been so many differnt cg,s posted on these planes that me thinks "back to basics" is the way to go.

i have the same airplane and it flys great.
the c/g on mine is 2 1/4 back from the l/e at the fuse.
just make sure you have lots of up elevator for the first flight.
the incedence on the h/stab is not quite correct,minor problem with lots of up elevtor.
take care.
