This model can be flown with a rudder/elevator/aileron or just elevator/aileron. 

Micro size servos should be used in the fuselage.  Wing servos can be installed 
using a small amount of silicon sealer.  Before gluing the servos into the wings, wrap 
them with electrical insulating tape.     

Insert 

350-800mAh battery into the fuselage. 

The receiver is positioned behind the servos and the aerial can be routed inside the 
fuselage. 

Recommended Control Throws: 

Elevator – 9mm up/down 
Aileron – 10 up, 6 down 
Rudder – 9 left/right 

These are only recommended initial throws and can be changed to suit individual 
flying styles. 

CG POSITION

 

For the first flights we recommend that the model should be balanced 74mm from the 
leading edge, measuring in the CL of the fuselage.  After the first flight the CG 
position and wing incidence angle can be adjusted to suit individual flying styles.  

ELECTRIC VERSION

 

However, any suitable motor and reduction gear can be used.  Cut the nose of the 
electric fuselage at the diameter of the spinner.  The fuselage CL is already set

down, so no extra down thrust angle is required, see Figure 2.  Just set the motor 
mount parallel to the nose closing bulkhead.  The motor mount can be made from a 
plywood-epoxy board laminate, each approximately 1.6 mm thick.  Cut the air vent 
holes and drill holes for the motor fixing screws.  Glue the motor mount using epoxy 
and carbon fibre tows.  Trim the inner nose cone to suit the motor/reduction gear 
shape.
