LATERAL BALANCE
After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You
should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the
airplane track straighter.
5. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop
of heavy string to the engine crankshaft and
one to the tail wheel wire. With the wings level,
carefully lift the airplane by the string. This may
require two people to make it easier.
6. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier
than the opposite. Add small amounts of lead
weight to the bottom side of the lighter wing
half's wing tip. Follow this procedure until the
wing stays level when you lift the airplane.

FLIGHT PREPARATION
PRE FLIGHT CHECK
1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver
batteries before your first day of flying.
2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your
plane to ensure that everything is tight and well
bonded.
3. Double check the balance of the airplane.
4. Check the control surface.
5. Check the receiver antenna. It should be fully
extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.
6. Properly balance the propeller.
3d sERVOS
The large control throws require servos with
great centering. The digital servos are second to
none in this department. Digital servos such as
the Futaba S9250 should be used on all control
surfaces of this airplane for optimum
performance.

CONTROL THROWS
1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using
the control throws listed.
2. The control throws should be measured at the
widest point of each control surface.
3. Check to be sure the control surfaces move in the
correct directions.

3-D PERFORMANCE SETTINGS
The CAP 232/ 61 will perform 3-D aerobatics
easily if you use the largest engines
recommended within the engine range. If you
setup your airplane to do 3D maneuvers, you
will need to be throttle conscious; that is,
never apply full throttle on straight and level
flying or in dives to prevent flutter.
