Balancing The Model
Balance the model at the point shown. It is best to
position the battery to do this operation.
FLYING
The model should ROG on pavement or hard surfaces.
On grass, the model may require hand launching. Be
careful that your hand or fingers do not catch on the lower
rigging. Launch firmly and level.
Let the model gain altitude slowly off the runway.
Applying too much up elevator at slow speeds risks a
stall. Make your turns gently as tight turns risk tip
stalling in any model. Don’t expect the elevator to make
the model climb. Think of the elevator as a device to
change the attitude of the model. The wing and airspeed
ultimately make the model climb. Often down elevator
applied at stalling can avoid a major crash. The most
important details for proper flight operations are:
1. CG location. Tail ‐ heavy models never fly well or
at all.
2. Down and right thrust
3. Straight and non ‐ warped wings.
