Attach the wing to the fuselage
using the four rubber bands
provided. Install the first two, one
on each side from front to back.
Attach the last two criss-cross from
corner to corner.
ATTACH THE WING TO THE FUSELAGE

Install and connect the battery. Turn on the transmitter and receiver. Make sure that the propeller
is clear from any obstacles. Hold onto the fuselage and push the start button. The prop should start to
rotate. Turn off the receiver switch to stop the motor.
This section is VERY important and must not be omitted! A model that is not
properly balanced will be unstable and difficult to fly
.
CHECK MOTOR OPERATION

The proper balance point is 1-5/8" (42mm) back from the leading edge of the wing. This point is marked
on the underside of the wing with indents as shown. Put your fingertips at the indents and lift the airplane. If
the plane leans forward, add some weight to the tail until it is level. If the plane leans backwards, add weight
to the nose.
If you need to add tail weight, glue a penny to the underside of the tail or cut a slot with a hobby knife
and insert a penny into the slot. Place a piece of tape over the slot to hold the penny in place. If nose weight
is needed, remove the cowl and tape a penny to the inside.
