29.1
Consult your radio manual for instructions
about hooking up your receiver battery, receiver and switch harness.
29.2
Wrap the battery pack securely in foam suitable for RC equipment and wrap the foam insulated pack in a plas-
tic bag or cling wrap.
29.3
Thread the battery pack connector back through from beneath the fuel tank to the radio compartment by pass-
ing the battery connector through an opening beside the fuel tank.
29.4
Connect the battery connector to your radio system according to the radio manual.
30.1
Consult your radio manual for instructions about hooking up your receiver.
30.2
Plan where you are going to put the receiver with consideration for routing the antenna safely.
30.3
Wrap the receiver securely in foam suitable for RC equipment and wrap the foam insulated receiver in a plas-
tic bag or cling wrap.
30.4
Generally in the absence of specific instructions from the radio manufacturer, it is recommended that the
receiver should be placed where it is least likely to have impact during a crash. Keep the battery pack and other
heavy loose items ahead of the receiver.
31.1
Consult your radio manual for instructions about testing and operating your radio system.
31.2
Pay particular attention to charging your radio system batteries and range testing the system before and after
each flight.
31.3
Check that all controls are working correctly before and after each flight.
The CG for your AERO SUBARU is located at 80 to 85 mm (3 1/8“ to 3 3/8 inch ) back from the leading edge of
the wing when the wing has been attached to the fuselage.
For the initial flight, the CG should be located at 3 1/8” (80mm) back from the leading edge of the wing when
the wing has been attached to the fuselage.
The CG is measured with the engine, radio gear and all other components installed but WITH NO FUEL IN THE
TANK.
Set up the CG as it will be when you fly it BUT WITH NO FUEL IN THE TANK.
It is very important to have the CG correct. Flying your model with the CG too far will likely lead to loss control and
a crash.
If you discover that after you have assembled your model and installed your radio and engine that the CG is incor-
rect you must bring the CG to the correct location by doing the following BEFORE FLYING :
- Move the battery pack fore or aft.
- Move other components fore or aft.
- Change engine to a lighter or heavier model.
- Add weight to the nose or tail. If adding it to the nose, try to make it useful by going to a heavier duty engine
or adding a spinner with a heavy metal backing plate. As a last resort, add stick on “dead” weight where appro-
priate.
