2) Turn on the radio system, and with the
trim tabs on the transmitter in neutral, center
the control surfaces by making adjustments
to the clevises or adjustable servo connectors.
The servo arms should be centered also.
1) It is critical that your airplane be bal-
anced correctly. Improper balance will cause
your plane to lose control and crash. The cen-
ter of gravity is locate
7.5cm
back from the
leading edge of the wing, measured at wing
tip.
BALANCING.
2) If the nose of the plane falls, the plane
is nose heavy. 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
sides 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 orif this is not possible, stick weight
onto the firewall.When balanced correctly, the
airplane should sit level or slightly nose down
when you lift it up with your fingers.
1) We highly recommend setting up the

CONTROL THROWS.

3) When the elevator, rudder and aileron
control surfaces are centered, use a ruler and
check the amount of the control throw in each
surface.
The control throws should be
measured at the widest point of each sur-
face!
