 Checking the model’s balance 

 

-  Place the flight battery in its compartment without connecting. 

-  Mark the Center of Gravity (CG) on both sides of the fuselage; 

the position is shown in the photo. 

-  Support the model at the marked points and allow it to hang 

freely. When correctly balanced the airplane will remain 

horizontal with the nose slightly down. 

-  If necessary, adjust the position of the flight battery to achieve 

the correct CG. 

-  Mark the battery location in the fuselage, so that you can be 

sure of positioning it correctly after recharging. 

-  Pack scrap pieces of foam around the battery in its final 

position, otherwise there is a danger of it shifting in flight and 

altering the model’s balance.     

-  Charge the flight battery and the model is ready for flight.

 Access to the ducted fan unit and electronic speed 

controller 

 

-  The ducted fan unit is accessible from underneath, if you need 

to carry out maintenance work or repairs.   

-  Ensure that the wire colors match correctly.
