IMPORTANT: Flying your model at these throws will provide you with the greatest chance for successful first flights.
If,after you have become accustomed to the way the FW-190 flies, you would like to change the throws to suit your taste
that is fine. However, too much control throw could make the model difficult to control, so remember, “more is not always better”.

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED 107mm BACK FROM THE
LEADING EDGE OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE.
BALANCE A PLANE
UPSIDE DOWN WITH THE FUEL TANK EMPTY.
1- Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple of pieces of masking tape,
place them
on the top side of the wing (107mm) back from the leading
edge, at the fuselage sides.
2- Lift the airplane. Place your fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift
the plane.
3- If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is heavy nose. To correct this, move
the battery pack further back in the fuselage. If the tail of plane falls, the
plane is tail heavy. To correct this, move the battery forward or if this is not
possible, stick weight onto the firewall.
When balanced correctly, the airplane should level or slightly nose down
when you lift it up with your fingers.
DO NOT try to fly an out-of-balance model !
LATERAL BALANCE:
After you have balanced a plane on the CG, you should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the airplane track straighter.
1- Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to the tail wheel wire.
With the wing level, carefully lift the airplane by the string. This may require two people to make easier.
2- If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to the bottom side
of the lighter wing half’s wing tip. Follow this procedure until the wing stays level when you lift the airplane.
