For a pattern model, start at 33%-34% of the MAC, dont waste you time starting at 25% on these models as it will be nose heavy. Pattern planes have huge tail moments and can deal with a lot of tail weight, I have gone as far back as 42% in some of my models, not recommended though
Which design is it?
