also used Shoe Goo to glue the ESC wire to the side of the
fuselage so it wouldn’t get in the way of the battery or aileron
servo. Other, non-permanent adhesive such as RTV silicone
would also be suitable for this.
Mark the Balance Range
❏
1. Use a fi ne-point, felt-tip pen to mark the forward, mid
(recommended) and aft C.G. locations on the bottom of both
sides of the wing 1/2" [13mm], 11/16" [17mm] and 7/8" [22mm]
back from the leading edges where they meet the fuselage.
❏
2. Cut the C.G. Marking Guide from the back of the
manual. Use the guide to draw lines across the marks you
made in the previous step.
❏
3. Lay strips of vinyl tape across the balance lines where
indicated by the arrows on the guide. These tape strips,
aligned with the sharpened supports on the balance stand,
will keep the plane from slipping off the stand.
Hook Up the Ailerons
Refer to this photo while hooking up the ailerons.
❏
1. Test fit the aileron servo in the plywood servo
mount on the bottom of the wing. If necessary, carefully
trim the mount to accommodate your servo, then mount
the servo with the included servo screws (or the screws
that came with your servo).
❏
2. Temporarily remove the servo, harden the screw
holes with a drop of thin CA, and allow to harden. Then,
remount the servo.

3. Mount a micro screw-lock connector to each torque
rod horn with the retainers. Thread the horns onto the
torque rods until the tops of the horns are 1/8" [3mm] down
past the ends of the rods.
