Default Kangaroo Balance

I almost have all the parts I need to finish my Glow Kangaroo and I need one VERY important bit of information. Can someone please tell me where to balance the plane.
Thanks

Installing a O.S.91 2-stroke That is what the company recomends for flying it.

The manual says " The center of gravity of the model should be located about 95-100 mm forward of the front edge of the wing joiner tube"

Have flown two pushers some years ago, one was a Kangaroo with a magnum 108, and later a Hotspot with a Moki 2.1 with a 16 x 16 prop. not trying to punch a hole in your boat, but both had disappointing performance... perhaps as a useful tip, be prepared to give quickly up elevator
if you slam the throttle up, specially if you are flying low and slow. this effect is noticeable in the turbine powered ones, but much more in the prop version.

Good luck, Enrique
