<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I designed the Odyssey and I can't tell you where
it is, but I can recommend some guidelines. First, however let me give
some opinion as to the value of cg location. I believe the optimum cg
location is pilot sensitive, that is to say different flyers prefer different
cg's based on how the plane is set up. For that reason I recommend a range
that is easy to find then fly the airplane and change the cg until you like the
way it flies. Some points to remember are to fly full speed then cut the
throttle, the plane should descend very slowly. If it descends rapidly,
then it is nose heavy. If it climbs, it is tail heavy. That will get
you close. After that make very small changes to suit your style. On
your root rib mark from 28 to 32 percent of the rib. That would be a
recommended range. You might start at 30% and work from there. The
stab is powerful on the Odyssey and requires expo for best results so don't
confuse a powerful elevator as tail heavy. </FONT></DIV>
