Instruction Manual

Position the canopy so the rear frame on the canopy is 

aligned with the rear edge of the cockpit opening. Use 

canopy glue to secure the canopy to the canopy hatch. 

Use low-tack tape to hold the canopy in position until 

the glue fully cures. Wrap the tape completely around 

the canopy hatch, as the tape does not stick well to 

the covering. We used balsa sticks to hold the lower 

edges of the canopy tightly against the canopy hatch.

Install  the  spinner  backplate,  propeller  and  spinner 

cone. The spinner cone is held in place using two 3mm 

x 8 mm machine screws.  

XVI. INSTALLING THE SPINNER

 

1) 

It is critical that your airplane be balanced cor-

rectly. Improper balance will cause your plane to lose 

control and crash.

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED

84 MM

 BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF THE 

WING.

 

2)

 Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple 

of pieces of masking tape, place them on the top side 

of the wing

 84 mm

 back from the leading edge, at the 

fuselage sides.

 

3) 

 Turn the airplane upside down. Place your fingers 

on the masking tape and carefully lift the plane.

Accurately  mark  the  balance  point  on  the  top  of  the 

wing on both sides of the fuselage. The balance point 

is located 

84mm

 back from the leading edge. This is 

the balance point at which your model should balance 

for your first flights. Later, you may wish to experiment 

by shifting the balance up to 10mm forward or back to 

change the flying characteristics. Moving the balance 

forward may improve the smoothness and arrow- like 

tracking, but it may  then require more speed for take 

off  and make it more difficult to slow down for landing. 

Moving the balance aft makes the model more agile 

with a lighter and snappier ”feel”. In any case, please 

start at the location we recommend.

With the wing attached to the fuselage, all parts of the 

model installed ( ready to fly), and empty fuel tanks, 

hold the model at the  marked balance point with the 

stabilizer level.

Lift the model. If the tail drops when you lift, the model 

is “tail heavy” and you must add weigh* to the nose. If 

the nose drops, it is “nose heavy” and you must add 

weight* to the tail to balance. 

*If  possible,  first  attempt  to  balance  the  model  by  

changing the position of the receiver battery and  re-

ceiver.  If  you  are  unable  to  obtain  good  balance  by 

doing  so,  then  it  will  be  necessary  to  add  weight  to 

the nose or tail to achieve the proper balance point.
