Flying Your Jenny

28...Charge the airborne battery pack and connect it to the 

system.  Test the radio and electric motor system WITHOUT

THE PROPELLER ATTACHED.  Make sure that all of the

controls and the throttle function properly.

29...When everything checks out, securely attach the propeller

to the motor.  Don’t forget to install the soft rubber prop shaft

protector!

30...BALANCING YOUR JENNY IS IMPORTANT!

Place the battery in the model and install the plastic cockpit

cover.  Check the balance of the model by turning it upside

down and supporting it on your finger tips placed 1/2” back

from the leading edge of the bottom wing.  Hold your fingers

close to the fuselage sides.  Supported this way your model

should hang perfectly level.  If the model hangs tail low, you

must move the receiver and battery forward in the fuselage, or

if they are already as far forward as possible, add weight to the

nose of the model until it hangs level.  If the model hangs nose

low, you must move the receiver and battery towards the rear,

or add weight to the tail of the model until it hangs level.

31...Always pre-flight your model thoroughly before each flight.  It is your responsibility to verify that your model is airworthy.

Always follow established safety guidelines while installing the battery, operating the motor, radio, and while flying the model.

WARNING!  THIS IS NOT A TOY!

Flying machines of any form are not toys! Because of the speeds that air-
planes must achieve in order to fly, they are capable of causing 
serious bodily harm and property damage if they crash. IT IS YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY AND YOURS ALONE to assemble this model 
airplane correctly according to the plans and instructions, to ground test
the finished model before each flight to make sure it is completely 
airworthy, and to always fly your model in a safe location and in a safe
manner. The first test flights should only be made by an experienced R/C
flyer, familiar with high performance R/C aircraft.
