And what is it that established the CG at 45% of the root chord and makes it fixed, and why can't anything be done about it? Especially if it a conventional (or nearly so) configuration? This is a serious question.
Type at you later,

Dan,
Thanks for the reply.
For any given design there's a CG that is determined by the design. That is, where the wing is located and the stab/elevator.
Finding the CG, there's math for that based on MAC. I think Howard mentioned this.
The wing isn't conventional, or not based on what would normally be a stunt ship.
So, although the CG may appear to be a bit further back, it actually isn't for this design.
Wolfgang,
Yes, I agree and I know this.
I'm "reaching," so I can eliminate the wing tip stick.
I'm asking if this can be done successfully? My reason for wanting the lead outs at the tip and NOT at the stick.
If I was OK with the stick, there would be no thread.
As I said, I don't know enough about this to make a decision. I cannot put the bellcrank in place and join the wing halves yet.
I have to be sure.
