Tom,
The CG shown on the plans for my Strega kit (not arf) is 8 1/8 inches forward of the flap hinge line, at the fuse side.
Still several weeks (months?) before it will be flown-------

Guys, before you even fly it, do yourselves a favor. Strip the covering from the LE about an inch back, top and bottom. Take a Perma-grit tool, or a sanding block with ~80 grit sandpaper, and sand the leading edge flat until you have about a 3/16 flat spot evenly from root to tip. Then round it off with more sanding, taking great care not to sand more than about 3/16" back onto the sheeting. Too far or too deep = open hole, since the LE is 1/4" square hardwood. Then over it with sticky Monokote.
If you don't, be very very careful on the first few flights, particularly in the wingover, triangle, and hourglass. Leave plenty of room at the bottoms the maneuvers because it will stall very easily on even moderate cornering.
