9. Commissioning the Model
a) Inserting and Connecting the Flight Battery
The flight battery is inserted into the provided battery compartment through the
windshield or the wing opening. It is then secured with a Velcro strip.
The exact position of the battery is determined by the centre of gravity.
b) Setting the Centre of Gravity
The flight battery must be installed in the battery compartment so that the cen-
tre of gravity is approx. 88 mm behind the leading edge of the wing.
Mark the position of the centre of gravity on the wing bottom on the left and
right of the fuselage using a pen.
Use your index fingers to hold the assembled and ready-to-fly model from be-
low at the measured positions. If the centre of gravity is set correctly, the model
should be leaning slightly forward.
Then you can determine the optimum centre of gravity by performing several
flights and adjust it.
c) Setting the Rudder Deflections
If correctly assembled and if the transmitter settings are made properly, the rudders should show the following deflection values (measured at the rear edge):
Aileron
10.5 mm upwards
10.5 mm downwards:
Elevator rudder
15 mm upwards
15 mm downwards:
Rudder
18 mm to the left
18 mm to the right
Attention!
These values represent the upper and lower limits of the rudder deflections. Adjust the deflections individually to suit your personal preferences.
If you are using a computer remote control, you can comfortably set the values on the transmitter. If you are using a normal remote control, the
values are set by repositioning the push rods on the servo arms or the flaps.
