Default Cap X - CG

Hey Chip,

The reference for the " Center Of Gravity " was left out of the
Temp Manual for the Cap X. Where is the CG located for this plane?[]

3-3.5 inches back at the tip. Basically if you are running any glow engine put the battery in front of the tank, and with the gassers it goes in the radio compartment.

Here goes....a dumb question. CG is 3" to 3.5 " from the tip? This must be measured from the wing tip and not the leading edge which makes it 5.5" to 6" back from the leading edge at the fuselage. Otherwise my Cap-X with a 40 cc Fox needs 2.5# on the nose. Please clarify.

Thanks,
