No, but if your a half decent pilot try about the LE of the lower wing
position on the upper wing. i.e. look "through" the upper planefrom above
and the CG is where you see the Lower plane's LE. That's about right as a
starter.

In other words, it's a fair bit further back than you'd think, measured on
the upper plane...but don't go daft!

It's such a pussycat though, a beautiful model to fly.
