Cezar Banks' LPP plan says the CG should be at 70%. How is that calculated? I know he recommending the center of gravity of the airplane (with the rubber motor mounted) should be a certain distance from some reference point that yields the specified percentage. What is the reference point? The wing has a five inch chord and he shows the CG at about three inches behind the leading edge. But that does not yield 70% in terms of a fraction.
