WING ATTACHMENT.
3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place
your fingers on the masking tape and care-
fully lift the plane .
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
65-90MM 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 65-90 mm back
from the leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
BALANCING.
Accurately mark the balance point on the top
of the wing on both sides of the fuselage. The
balance point is located 65-90mm mm 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. Mov-
ing 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. Mov-
ing the balance aft makes the model more agile
with a lighter and snappier ”feel”. In any case,
please start at the location 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.
