Does anyone know how to calculate where the CG should be for a rectangular flying wing? I am very interested in building something like the old Scimitar series. Basically a rectangular wing on a box fuselage with only a trailing vertical stabilizer - like this:

I know it should be
*somewhere* around C/4 ahead of the leading edge, but I also understand the design is very sensitive to proper CG location so I am looking for more specific info if anyone has it. The references I have found so far are for swept wings which are a different animal. The reason I am going for a rectangular wing planform is I am planning on using coroplast for the wing.
If nobody on this forum knows, I'm headed to the craft store for some foam board and balsa to "derive" it the old fashioned way :)
Thanks!
