drop a string line from the leading edge of the forward wing and another stringline from the trailing edge of the rear wing. calculate the distance and figure out approx 30% back. usually it is the leading edge area of the rear wing.
also don't forget to give the upper wing about minus 1 degree negative incidence to stall the lower wing first on landing

Is it built from a kit? Do you know who makes the kit?
