Center your fingertips on the Locators to balance the glider and see how it reacts. If the nose drops quickly,
move battery rearward until glider balances level on fingertips. If the tail drops quickly, slide battery
forward if possible, or add a small amount of balance weight in the provided recesses alongside battery
(you may only need a small paperclip or two). The Alula-TREK's short length makes balancing a bit tricky,
so take your time and make sure glider balances level on your fingertips for at least a moment or two
before it starts to fall out of balance.
Proper balance is crucial! If you don't trust your fingertips, use the Hot
Tip below for a more precise way to balance your Alula-TREK.

HOT TIP: If you don't trust your fingertips to
balance the glider, make a simple balancing jig
out of a block of wood and two dowels or pencils.
The tips of the dowels should be wedge-shaped to
provide a fairly sharp balancing tip. Space the
dowels 65 mm apart, so the tips align with the
middle of the Balance Locators.
