When balancing your model, adjust the battery as necessary
so the model is level or slightly nose down. This is the correct
balance point for your model. After the first flights, the CG
position can be adjusted for your personal preference.
1. The recommended Center of Gravity (CG) location for your
model is (60-70mm) from the leading edge of the main wing
(as shown) with the battery pack installed. Mark the location of
the CG on top of the wing.
2. When balancing your model, support the plane at the marks
made on the bottom of the main wing with your fingers or a
commercially available balancing stand. This is the correct
balance point for your model. Make sure the model is assem-
bled and ready for flight before balancing.
