General Testing Cg On A Warbird

I'm setting up my first low-wing plane that has retracts.
I know that low-wing planes have to be CG tested when inverted; my question is this:
Should the gear be down or retracted when I do the CG test?

You want to test it as an "in flight" condition since you are concerned with how it flies ... so retracts should be closed. Test at the point the model instructions gave you since they may not follow the actual airframe it's made to look like.
