9. Operating the Model
a) Commissioning the Remote Control
In the operating instructions for the flight model, only the control elements are illustrated in the figures of the remote
control. They therefore serve illustration purposes only. The function of the remote control is explained in the sepa
-
rately enclosed operating instructions.
b) Charging the Flight Battery
Charge the flight battery according to the information of the charger used. Observe the safety notes in these operating
instructions and the operating instructions of the charger.
c) Inserting and Connecting the Flight Battery
Figure 8 shows the position of the drive motor (1), flight
controller (2), elevator and rudder servos (3), the flight bat
-
teries (4), the connection cables of the aileron servos (5),
the plug system of the rechargeable battery/flight control
-
ler (6) and the receiver installation site at the side of the
fuselage (7).
After removing the canopy, the flight battery is pushed into
the fuselage from the front and secured with hook-and-
loop tape in the area of the wing.
The precise position of the rechargeable battery is deter-
mined by the centre of gravity.
d) Setting the Centre of Gravity
The model must be set by proper placement of the flight
battery (and, if required, by addition of lead) so that the
centre of gravity is approx. 46 mm (+/- 3 mm) behind the
nose strip of the wing.
To do so, mark the corresponding centre of gravity position
at the bottom of the wing with a pen. From the bottom, hold
the assembled and ready-to-fly model at the measured po
-
sitions with your index fingers (or a corresponding device).
If the centre of gravity is set correctly, the model should be
leaning slightly forward.
