Balancing the FOCKE WULF 190 D

Support the assembled model (fueltank empty) under both wing roots at a point about
115 mm to 125 mm aft of the wing root leading edge; it is best to hold the model inverted
for this procedure. If the CG position is correct, the model will hang level, with the nose
inclined slightly down. If necessary, re-position the receiver battery to obtain the correct
balance, or glue lead ballast to the nose or tail. All the control surfaces must be exactly
at centre when the transmitter sticks and trims are in the neutral position; check this
before the first flight.

Control surface travels

Ailerons

17 mm up, 17 mm down

Elevators

18 mm up, 18 mm down

Rudder

35 mm right, 35 mm left

Landing flaps

take-off: 12 mm

landing: 35 mm

We recommend that you set 35% exponential on the ailerons, and 50% on the elevator.

Important:

When fitting and adjusting the various linkages you should ensure that they move freely,
without binding, are able to move to their full extent - including trim travel - and are not
obstructed mechanically at any point.

When you move the rudder stick to the right, the rudder should also deflect to the right
(left stick: left rudder). Pull the elevator stick back towards you, and both elevators must
deflect up (stick forward: elevators down).
If you move the aileron stick to the right, the right aileron should rise, the left aileron fall.
When you move the throttle stick forward, the motor should run to the full-throttle
position, i.e. the carburettor barrel should be fully open. The landing flaps can be
assigned to a slider or a three-position switch. We recommend a two-position switch for
the retractable undercarriage.

We wish you every success and many enjoyable flights with your FOCKE WULF 190 D.

Yours - the
