2) If the nose of the plane falls, the plane
is nose heavy. To correct this first move the
battery pack further back in the fuselage. If
this is not possible or does not correct it, stick
small amounts of lead weight on the fuse-
lage sides under the horizontal stabilizer.
If the tail of the plane falls, the plane is
tail heavy. To correct this, move the bat-
tery and receiver for ward orif this is not
possible, stick weight onto the firewall.
When balanced correctly, the airplane
should sit level or slightly nose down
when you lift it up with your fingers.

CONTROL THROWS.
1) We highly recommend setting up the
RECREATION 148 using the control throws
listed at right. We have listed control throws
for both Low Rate (initial test flying) and
High Rate (aerobatic flying).
2) Turn on the radio system, and with the
trim tabs on the transmitter in neutral, center
the control surfaces by making adjustments
to the clevises or adjustable servo connec-
tors. The servo arms should be centered also.
3) When the elevator, rudder and aileron
control surfaces are centered, use a ruler and
check the amount of the control throw in
each surface.
The control throws should be
measured at the widest point of each sur-
face!
4) By moving the position of the adjustable
control horn out from the control surface,
you will decrease the amount of throw of
that control surface. Moving the adjustable
control horn toward the control surface will
increase the amount of throw.
