Revision V1.0

13. Centre Of Gravity

It is vital that you check that 

the centre of gravity is correct. 

Failure to do so could result in 

a complete loss of control. We 

recommend the balance point 

of the model, complete with 

battery, should be 80 -100mm 

back from the leading edge of 

the wing for initial flights. Very 

experienced pilots may wish 

to move the balance point 

further back after initial flight 

testing. 

80 ~ 100 mm

12. Control Surface

Check that all control surfaces are centred and responding correctly to transmitter inputs. 

Adjustments can be made to control surface centres by carefully rotating the plastic control 

horns on the threaded portion of the metal control rods. Use the servo reversing function on 

your transmitter for any control that is not responding in the correct sense to control inputs.  

Make certain that all plastic links are securely “snapped” closed and that all control surface 

hinges are secure. Use a small amount of foam glue if any hinges are not firmly attached.

We make the following recommendations for control surface deflections. Experienced pilots may 

wish to increase these movements after initial flight testing.

Ailerons: 

15mm each way

Elevator: 

20mm each way

Rudder: 

28mm each way

11. Battery 

Installation

The battery is mounted in to 

the model by removing the 

upper canopy that is held in 

place by magnets. 

Your flight battery, (not 

included in the PNP Version) 

can easily be installed and 

connected to the factory 

fitted “T” style connector. 

Make certain the battery 

is secured using the velcro 

straps and that the canopy is 

secure before flight. 

For added security of the battery pack we recommend using 

some self adhesive velcro applied to the battery and battery 

tray.
