Default DISCUS 2 a WT & BALANCE

CG will vary with seat back position and thickness of parachute. Pilot CG is approximately your belly button. Climb in with chute on and measure the horizontal distance from the wing leading edge to your belly button (use a pumb-bob, then mark edge of canopy rail). If memory serves me, Discus performs best at 92% of allowable range..
