Final checklist:
●
A good starting point for the center of gravity is at the main spar location. It is vital that the center of gravity is
checked before any flying is attempted. More advanced flyers will probably like the CG further back.
●
Suggested full travel settings 140% aileron, 140% elevator and 140% rudder.
●
Suggested exponential 25% aileron, 35% elevator, 40% rudder.
●
When you are happy that all of the control surfaces are in a neutral position with the radio on on, wick some thin
CA glue into the heatshrink at each end of each of the pushrods to lock them in place. If adjustment is needed,
you can usually slide the pushrods in the heatshrink before they are glued, but not after. If you need further
adjustments, simply trim the heatshrink off and reapply.
Flying Tips - The Mark 8 has very low wing loading and does not like much wind. For your first flight, I would recommend
flying either in a large indoor area such as a gymnasium, or wait for a dead calm day outside. Once you get
comfortable with the flying characteristics you will be able to fly in much smaller areas, and outdoors in more wind. For
your first flight I would recommend hand launching it at partial throttle. This aircraft likes to fly slow, the power is only
good for climbing and aerobatics.
