CG on a Zagi is 15%MAC and is 8" aft of the nose. Very little tolerance on a flying wing

My combat birds are set up at 20-22% Mac, Sport planes about 25% (hence the 'on the spar's good'), and 3D up to 35%(behind the aerodynamic center of lift)

<br />So what is the general rule of thumb to follow, when setting up the CG on a flying wing?

Here's an on-line calculator for the CG of a flying wing.
