13.  Use industrial strength Velcro to attach the battery.  

It is a good idea to cut the covering out from under the 

Velcro and attach the Velcro directly to the foam with 

some medium CA.  Also, glue the 1/32” ply connector 

plate to the wing and the battery connector to the con-

nector plate using medium CA.

Center Of Gravity

The center of gravity is located at 7 1/2” from the 

nose.  Make a mark 7 1/2” from the nose of the wing 

and attach the battery so that it balances on this mark.

Control Throws

Measure the control throws at the widest part of the 

elevon.

Mild   

 

Aileron:  1/4” Up, 1/4” Down

Elevator:  3/8” Up, 3/8” Down

Wild

Aileron:  5/8” Up, 5/8” Down

Elevator:  5/8” Up, 5/8” Down

Reflex

You will need to have a slight amount of UP eleva-

tor dialed in to the elevons.  This is called reflex. All 

wings need a certain amount of reflex to fly. Start with 

about 1/8” up, measuring from the widest part of the 

elevon.
