Don,
PL recommends the same CG for the Smaragd, Partner, and  Lazulite - 15/16" 
behind the center of the wing tube. I can tell you first  hand that the Smaragd 
flies a lot better with the CG right near the trailing  edge of the wing tube 
and others have reported the same thing. I recently  asked the same question 
about the Partner and most of the responses favored a  CG ranging from tube 
center to the leading edge of the tube. I'd suggest tube  center or slightly 
rearward. I remember my first flight on the Smaragd. Just  couldn't get used to 
flying inverted with no down elevator, it was spooky.  Moving the CG up to the 
TE of the tube made the plane lock better and provided  better control in snaps 
and spins. Even at that point, I only have to lean  slightly on the down 
elevator when inverted. Hope this helps. BTW, PL never  made an exclusive set of 
instructions for the Partner. The face sheet shows a  picture of Qui Que and 
his Partner. The first page in explains that the  Lazulite photos will be used 
for reference.

What is the recommended CG position for the Lazulite?  Or, where  is your CG 
on the Lasulite?
 
thanks
