Section 18: Control Throw Recommendations
Section 19: Balancing the Cherokee
An important part of preparing the aircraft for flight is properly
balancing the model. Don’t inadvertently neglect this step.
The Cherokee is very stable and has a wide range of C. G.
(Center of Gravty). With the various brands of radios and engine
equipment available, the C. G. can be between 3-1/4
′′
to 4
′′
back from the the leading edge of the wing.
If your Cherokee does not balance within this area, add nose
weight or tail weight, dependng on the need. Stick-on weights
are available at your local hobby shop and work well for this
purpose.
