Motor installation
Install the motor into the stick motor mount and velcro
the speed control and receiver to the lower left side of
the fuselage.
Flight set-up:
Use double stick Velcro on the battery and airframe to
secure the battery to the bottom of the horizontal
fuselage in a location that gives the model proper
balance. Adjust the battery location back and forth to
suit your flying style. Use your computer radio to set
the final sub-trims, exponential and dual rates. Double
check the control directions before your first flight.
With proper CG, the plane should fly nearly the
same upright or upside-down.
Good pilots
experiment with various battery locations until the CG
feels just right.

For indoor flying, we use 2 or 3 cell lipo packs rated at
20C. Batteries of 300 to 480 mah are perfect for
giving good flight times and plenty of power. The final
airplane weight should be between 6.0 and 7.5 oz
.
