Accurately mark the balance point on the top
of the wing on both sides of the fuselage. The
balance point is located 135mm back from the
leading edge. This is the balance point at which
your model should balance for your first flights.
Later, you may wish to experiment by shifting
the balance up to 10mm forward or back to
change the flying characteristics. Moving the
balance forward may improve the smooth-
ness and arrow- like tracking, but it may then
require more speed for take off and make it
more difficult to slow down for landing. Moving
the balance aft makes the model more agile
with a lighter and snappier ”feel”. In any case,
please start at the location we recommend .
