BALANCING

1

.   It is critical that your airplane be balanced correctly. 

Improper balance will cause your plane to lose 

control and crash.

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED 75 - 80mm 

BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WING, 

AT THE FUSELAGE.

2.  Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple of 

pieces of masking tape, place them on the top side of 

the wing 75 - 80mm back from the leading edge, at the 

fuselage sides.

3.   Turn the airplane upside down. Place your fingers on 

the masking tape and carefully lift the plane .

4.  If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is heavy nose. 

To correct this first move the battery pack further 

back in the fuselage. If this is not possible or does not 

correct it, stick small amounts of lead weight on the 

fuselage under the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of 

the plane falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this, 

move the battery and receiver forward or if this is not 

possible, stick weight into the firewall. When balanced 

correctly, the airplane should sit level or slightly nose 

down when you lift it up with your fingers. 

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

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.

1

.   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.

2.   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.
