1) It is critical that your airplane be bal-

anced correctly. Improper balance will cause
your plane to lose control and crash.

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED

70MM

 BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE

OF THE WING.





2) Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a

couple of pieces of masking tape, place them
on the top side of the wing 

70mm

 back from

the leading edge, at the fuselage sides.





3.  Turn the airplane upside down. Place

your fingers on the masking tape and care-
fully lift the plane .

BALANCING.

Accurately mark the balance point on the top
of the wing on both sides of the fuselage. The
balance point is located 

70mm

 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
smoothness 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 loca-
tion we recommend .



 With the wing attached to the fuselage, all

parts of the model installed ( ready to fly), and
empty fuel tanks, hold the model at the
marked balance point with the stabilizer level.



Lift the model. If the tail drops when you

lift, the model is “tail heavy” and you must
add weigh* to the nose. If the nose drops, it
is “nose heavy” and you must add weight* to
the tail to balance.
