Note concerning cheap AA batteries – it seems possible that life time ends relatively abruptly. Don’t save 
too much at the battery or replace upon slight doubt about capacity under load. Prepare new batteries by 
charging/discharging several times, checking capacity and voltage. 
 
 
Center of gravity: 
95-98 mm measured from leading edge at wing root. 
 
 
Tow hook:  
CG 

±

2 mm, depending on desired launch safety.  

Position measured from wing leading edge to rear edge of hook, see sketch below.
