GET THE MODEL READY TO FLY

Prepare the Wing

❏ 

1. If fl ying the FlyLite 

indoors

, remove the protective 

backing from the adhesive on the 

rubber band protectors

and apply them to the top of the wing centered over the 
leading and trailing edges. Proceed to “Balance the Model 
(C.G.)” on the next page.

Optional: Add the Wing Center Doubler. 

If fl ying the 

FlyLite 

outdoors

, or if fl ying more aggressively in large 

indoor sites where higher throttle settings may be used 
more often, do not use the rubber band protectors. Instead, 
the formed 

wing center doubler

 and fi ber-reinforced tape 

must be added to the wing as they increase strength. 
The center doubler is adhered to the top of the wing with 
aggressive double-sided adhesive tape, so once installed 
it is permanent. Follow these instructions to apply the 
center wing doubler and fi ber-reinforced tape.

❏ 

2. Before removing the protective backing over the double-

sided tape on the bottom of the center doubler, test fi t it onto 
the wing. Use a fi ne-point felt-tip pen to mark the center of 
the doubler and the wing at the trailing edge. This will be a 
reference mark for aligning the doubler in the next step.

❏ 

3. Peel off the protective covering from the tape on the 

back of the center doubler. Then join 

only the back edge

of the doubler to the top of the wing by holding them upside 
down and aligning the marks.
