❑
Using a clean cloth, wipe the airframe down completely to remove any dust, debris and oil.
❑
Cut out each of the decals and apply them using the box cover photos for reference. If any air bubbles form under the decals
when you apply them, use a T-Pin to puncture the bubble and release the trapped air, then press the decal down.
❑
Mount the battery to the fuselage floor, directly behind the motor, using
the strip of hook and loop material included.
❑
Drill a 5/64" (2mm) diameter hole through the bottom of the fuselage for the antenna to exit, then run the antenna out and along
the bottom of the fuselage. Use pieces of clear tape to secure it into place along the length of the fuselage.
Do not cut the antenna
shorter. Allow the excess to hang beyond the back of the fuselage.

Install your propeller onto the motor.
IMPORTANT
Make sure to tighten the propeller nut firmly.

BALANCE POINT:
The center of gravity (c/g or Balance Point) is 3" to 4-1/2" (76mm to 114mm) back from the leading edge of the wing,
measured at the fuselage sides. For test flying, start with the balance point at the middle of the c/g range 3-3/4" (95mm).
THE CONTROL THROWS ARE MEASURED FROM THE WIDEST POINT OF THE CONTROL SURFACES

WARNING
For test flying and general sport flying, we suggest you balance the airplane at the C/G recommended above.
Experienced pilots can experiment with the C/G range as far back as 5" (127mm).

EXPONENTIAL:
For all control surfaces, we recommend 15% to 25% exponential on high rates (3D Flying). For more information about exponential
and how to program it, please refer to your radio system's user's guide.
