If y
ou will not be balancing the model with a
Great Planes C

Machine
, y
o
u will need to mar
k the
balance point on the bottom of the wing so y
ou will
kno
w where to lift the model when it’

k
the C

later
. No
w w
ould be a good time to do this
.
Use a fi

lt-tip pen to mar
k the balance point
on the bottom of both inboard wing panels where the
y
meet the fuselage 5" [127mm] bac
k from the leading

There will be more inf
