If the chord at the center of the wing is about 17 inches, the CG will be
pretty close at 7-1/2 inches from the leading edge AT the center of the
wing. That is also assuming a tip chord of about 8-1/2 inches ignoring the
tips. If the front of the one piece wing does not come to a point from the
leading edges, measure it as if it did come to a point. If it will finish
out to less than nine pounds you might consider a YS 91 or its successor.

Lamar,

Thanks for the reply.

My Jekyll is the single piece wing version. About 800 sq in on a 66 inch
span wing by quick measurement. Perhaps that info will help identify the
version.
