7.0 AIRCRAFT SETUP AND CG
Once all aspects of the assembly have been finished, ensure the aircraft is setup
and balanced as noted below. Note these are recommended start values for the
first flights. These can be tailored to suit personal preferences as desired once
the initial flights have been completed.
‰ Center of Gravity – Center of Gravity – Balance the aircraft at the leading
edge of the wing saw tooth (landing gear down and the tank empty). This
equates to approximately 8-1/4” back from the leading edge of the wing
saddle at the root. DO NOT BALANCE THE AIRPLANE FORWARD OF
THIS MARK; it is already slightly nose heavy! Adjustment of some of the
components may be required to accommodate the CG location, which is
preferable to adding weight.
