BALANCING

1

.   It is critical that your airplane be balanced correctly. 

Improper balance will cause your plane to lose 
control and crash.

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED 80mm 
BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF THE 
WING, AT THE FUSELAGE.

2.  Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple of 

pieces of masking tape, place them on the top side 
of the wing 80mm back from the leading edge, at 
the fuselage sides.

3.   Turn the airplane upside down. Place your fingers on 

the masking tape and carefully lift the plane .

4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is heavy nose. 

To correct this first move the battery pack further 
back in the fuselage. If this is not possible or does 
not correct it, stick small amounts of lead weight on 
the fuselage under the horizontal stabilizer. If the 
tail of the plane falls, the plane is tail heavy. To 
correct this, move the battery and receiver forward 
or if this is not possible, stick weight into the 
firewall. When balanced correctly, the airplane 
should sit level or slightly nose down when you lift 
it up with your fingers. 

LATERAL BALANCE

After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You 

should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the 
airplane track straighter

CONTROL THROWS

1

.  We highly recommend setting up a plane using the 

control throws listed.

2.   The control throws should be measured at the widest 

point of each control surface.

3.  Check to be sure the control surfaces move in the 

correct directions.

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 wings level, carefully lift 
the airplane by the string. This may require two 
people to make it 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.

FLIGHT PREPARATION PRE FLIGHT CHECK

1

.   Completely charge your transmitter and receiver 

batteries  before your first day of flying.

2.   Check every bolt and every glue joint in your plane 

to ensure that everything is tight and well bonded.

3.   Double check the balance of the airplane 

4.   Check the control surface

5.   Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully 

extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.

6.   Properly balance the propeller.
