” behind the leading edge of
the wing. You will likely need to shift the receiver battery fully
forward to balance the model and add weight to the nose. Try
shifting the position of the battery location in an attempt to
balance the model, or add weight to the fuselage nose/tail as
applicable.
Step 2.
To properly balance the model, it should be fully
assembled with the radio and receiver battery installed and ready
to fly. Place a strip of masking tape on either side of the wing’s
lower surface, next to the fuselage.
Step 3.
Mark the location of the CG on the bottom of the wing
on either side of the fuselage.
Step 4.
Using one finger under the wing on each mark, check
the balance of the model. It should remain level when raised at
the balanced points. Shift the battery location or add weight until
the plane remains level.
