Thanks Chellie

I will do so as u adviced . I also found this CG pic for the T28 TROJAN.
Need to see if this is 25% from leading edge going back....says it is 2-5/8 inch behing LE.

2 questions :
You always measure from LE that is touching the plane's body right?

After that you mark that with a X and let the wing rest on your finger tip on each side and it should be a lil' nose heavy correct?
If so ...does it matter if I move the finger width wise along the wing few inches from the plane body?

Thx!
