9. Operating the Model
a) Commissioning the Remote Control
In the operating instructions for the flight model, only the control elements are illustrated in the figures of the remote
control. They therefore serve illustration purposes only. The function of the remote control is explained in the separately
enclosed operating instructions.
b) Charging the Flight Battery
Charge the flight battery according to the information of the charger used. Observe the safety notes in these operating
instructions and the operating instructions of the charger.
c) Inserting and Connecting the Flight Battery
Figure 8 shows the position of the drive motor (1), flight
controller (2), elevator and rudder servos (3), the flight
batteries (4), the connection cables of the aileron servos
(5), the plug system of the rechargeable battery/flight
controller (6) and the receiver installation site at the
side of the fuselage (7).
After removing the canopy, the flight battery is pushed
into the fuselage from the front and secured with hook-
and-loop tape in the area of the wing.
The precise position of the rechargeable battery is
determined by the centre of gravity.
d) Setting the Centre of Gravity
The model must be set by proper placement of the flight
battery (and, if required, by addition of lead) so that the
centre of gravity is approx. 46 mm (+/- 3 mm) behind
the nose strip of the wing.
To do so, mark the corresponding centre of gravity
position at the bottom of the wing with a pen. From the
bottom, hold the assembled and ready-to-fly model at
the measured positions with your index fingers (or a
corresponding device).
If the centre of gravity is set correctly, the model should
be leaning slightly forward.
