Control Direction Test
WARNING:
Do not perform this or any other equipment test with the
propeller installed on the aircraft. Serious injury or property damage
could result from the motor starting inadvertently.
1. Set the flight mode switch to
Experienced mode
(position 2).
2. Keep the throttle at zero and place the model on level ground away from
obstacles.
3. Move the sticks on the transmitter as described in the table to ensure the
aircraft control surfaces respond as shown.
If the control surfaces do not respond as shown,
DO NOT FLY.
Refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide
for more information. If you need more assistance,
contact the appropriate Horizon Hobby Product Support department.
If the aircraft responds as shown, continue on to the Flight Control section.

Center of Gravity (CG)
An aircraft with a correct CG has its weight balanced at a calculated point
where the entire airframe will balance when suspended at that point. After
installing the battery (in the recommended position) and before powering
on the ESC switch, verify the CG by supporting the aircraft 90-95mm
(approximately 3.74 inches) back from the wing root, as shown.
3S 4000mAh Smart battery CG position-
The battery is installed all the way
forward in battery compartment. Only the front battery strap will be used.
4S 4000mAh Smart battery CG position-
The battery is installed centered in
the battery tray, using both front and rear battery straps.
Balance the aircraft on your fingertips near the fuselage under the wings.
• If the nose goes down, move the flight battery
back until the aircraft balances.
• If the nose goes up, move the flight battery
forward until the aircraft balances.
When flying with correct CG in beginner mode, the aircraft should climb
gradually at full power and fly level at 50%–60% power with no elevator input.
If the aircraft CG is too far forward (nose heavy), up elevator is required to fly
level at 50%–60% power. If the aircraft CG is too far aft (tail heavy), down
elevator is required to fly level. Adjust the battery position as needed.
