We have developed a flapping robot inspired a butterfly that has law flapping frequency and a few degrees of freedom of the wings. In this paper, we investigate relation between CoG position of a manufactured robot and its attitude control to glide. As a result, the CoG of robot was located 2mm ahead of geometric center of wings to glide. Furthermore, the more forward the CoG was located, the more stable a robot glided. On the other hand, the more backward the CoG was located, the earlier a robot began gliding.
