3 Setup and Tuning
3.1 Center of Gravity
Probably
no
other
step
is
as
important
to
having
a
sweet
‐
flying
airplane
as
locating
the
fore
‐
and
‐
aft
balance
point,
CG,
center
of
gravity
in
the
correct
spot.
Too
far
forward
makes
for
sluggish
performance.
Too
far
back
makes
for
a
twitchy
and
hard
to
control
airplane.
The
starting
CG
for
Sawn
‐
Craft
Front
Yard
Fighters
is
at
0.25”
in
front
of
the
carbon
fiber
blade
wing
spar.
Ace
‐
of
‐
the
‐
base
pilots
can
move
it
further
back
for
more
agile
responsiveness
to
control
inputs
and
to
facilitate
hovering
maneuvers,
while
pilots
looking
for
more
stable
performance
can
move
the
CG
further
than
0.25”
from
the
spar.
3.2 Radio Setup & Mixing
Depending
on
the
transmitter
and
receiver
that
you
are
using
to
control
your
model
you
may
find
that
you
need
to
do
some
special
setup
to
make
the
control
surfaces
work
properly.
