BALANCE POINT
The Center of Gravity (C/G or Balance Point) is 3" (77mm) back
from the leading edge of the TOP wing, measured at
the center of
the wing.
WARNING For test flying and general sport flying, we suggest
you balance the airplane at the C/G recommended above. For 3D
flying, you may want to experiment moving the C/G back in small
increments until you're satisfied with the result.

Exponential softens the response of the control surfaces around
neutral stick. This makes the airplane easier to control while using
such large control throws. The Exponential values shown are
given as a percent. Please note that different brands of radio
control systems may call for + or - Expo. Please check your
transmitter's owners manual for more info.
