Fig. 43- Checking the model’s balance
- Place the flight battery in its compartment, without
connecting.
- Mark the Centre of Gravity (CG) on both sides of the
fuselage; the position is shown in the photo.
-
Support the model at the marked points and allow it to hang
freely. When correctly balanced the airplane will remain
horizontal, with the nose slightly down.
- If necessary, adjust the position of the flight battery to
achieve the correct CG.
-
Mark the battery location in the fuselage, so that you can be
sure of positioning it correctly after recharging.
-
Pack scrap pieces of foam around the battery in its final
position, otherwise there is a danger of it shifting in flight
and altering the model’s balance.
-
Charge the flight battery and the model is ready for flight.
