6. Balancing the Model/Control Throws
At this stage the model should be in ready-to-fly condition with all of the
systems in place including the brushless motor, servos, landing gear, the
radio system, and battery packs.
The recommended Center of Gravity
location is 5-10 mm behind the wing
tube
Please use the battery pack, moving it forward or backward, to achieve the
perfect balance.
Balance the plane laterally also, holding the motor propeller shaft and a
fingertip under the fin post, and if needed add a small weight to the light
wing to make it track correctly.

-
Left wing +0,0 degree. Rigts wing + 0,0 degrees

Rekomend setup
Rudder High
– 12.7 cm each direction, 48% expo. I use this for all flying.
Rudder Medium
– 88% each direction, 36% expo. I use this for some
snaps.
Rudder Low
– 80% each direction, 33% expo. I rarely use this rate (mostly
from friends that fly the plane and do not like sensitive rudder).
Aileron High
– 24° up, 25° down, 75% expo. I use this for all snaps, and
crossover of reverse spins.
Aileron Medium -
9° up, 10.1° down, 40% expo. I use this for all normal
flying.
Aileron Low
– 8.6° up, 9.6° down, 39% expo. I use this for all normal flying
when it is very cold and airplane is very responsive.
Elevator High
– 20.3° up, 21.4° down. 62% up and 52% down expo. I use
this for spins only.
