An extremely important step in preparing an aircraft for flight is
ensuring it is properly balanced. Do not neglect this step. Each
individual’s Ultra Stick 40 will not be the same because of the
various combinations of engines, servos, radio equipment, type
of hardware used, and assembly methods used during building
of the Ultra Stick 40. Always check the CG (center of gravity)
with the fuel tank empty. The recommended CG location for the Ultra Stick 40 is

" to 4" behind the leading edge of the wing.
If necessary, add weight to either the nose or the tail until the
correct balance is achieved. Stick-on weights are available at
your local hobby shop and work well for this purpose.
