Thanks for the Help!

I was quoted by Ace $154 plus shipping. They seem to know what size is needed for the Andes.

Edit: after further inspection, I see that SWK550 states he settled on 130mm from bottom wing LE.
Guys,
I see CG locations from 135-150mm in this thread. Where are you'all flying them?
More importantly, where are your numbers referenced from? LE of which wing? From the LE point or from where the LE intersects the fuse side?
Thanks, Dan

Throws

Couple questions. The CG is measured from the L/E of the bottom wing. Does that get transferred to the bottom of the top wing and lift from there? Second is what are the throws?
