DISCLAIMER: I highly recommend that you have experience with flying model aircraft. This is not a beginner plane and will most like end in a failure if you are not familiar with flying model aircraft. Fly at your own risk.
The CG position is marked on the bottom of the fuselage with 2 circle cut outs.

NOTE, the fuselage and canopy will require supports. I printed the canopy with the motor mount on the bed and supports from the bed to the rear of the wing. The canopy will require support for the overhang in the center and for the small tab. All other parts can be printed without support.
There was a stiff breeze today at the field and a lot of thermal turbulence so I thought I`d see how well the little DIY Sub-250 gram FPV model I built from foamboard would handle the conditions
