Default Measurement of CofG

If the shop has a digital protractor you could also convert the rise/
run to degrees, put the protractor on the specified part of the tail
boom and raise the tail until it reads the correct angle.

Arctan(rise/run) = angle in degrees

About 2.1 degrees, sloping down towards the tail in this case.
