The Centre of Gravity range
The safe C.G. position for the DANDY is located at 103 mm from the wing root
leading edge. Check the CG by supporting the model on two fingertips at the stated
point under both wing roots: it should then balance level. The LiPo battery can be re-
positioned further forward if necessary to obtain the correct CG. Alternatively add a
little nose ballast (not included).
Flying
Assemble the model completely, charge all the batteries, and check that the control
surfaces are properly centred before undertaking the first flight. Wait for a day with
little or no breeze. A good flying site is a flat grassy field, ideally with a gentle slope
facing into wind.
Note: for the initial test-glide push the model forward directly into any wind; the
fuselage nose should be angled down slightly (by about 10°). If necessary use
very slight rudder and elevator commands to keep the model gliding straight and flat.
Fine-tuning is carried out using the trim sliders below and adjacent to the transmitter
sticks. Always land the model directly into wind.
All of us at Graupner/SJ Modellbau hope you enjoy many fine flights with your new
DANDY
