Don't glue the motor mount to the fuselage yet.
❑
Install your propeller onto your motor. Temporarily set your battery
on top of the wing, over the C/G, then check the balance of the airplane
(refer to page # 15). If the airplane is nose heavy, remove the motor
assembly and cut the motor mount shorter, so that the motor is mounted
further back. Repeat this procedure until the airplane balances. If the
airplane is tail heavy, don't cut the motor mount shorter. Leave it the
standard length. You'll simply need to mount the battery farther forward
when you install it later.
❑
Center the motor mount and double-check that the motor is straight.
When satisfied with the alignment, glue the motor mount to the fuselage.
❑
Mount your battery to the right side of the fuselage, using a piece of
velcro. Position the battery at the location necessary to balance the
airplane.
❑
Install your propeller onto your motor and finish wiring your motor to
your ESC.
