Step 6: Applying the Decals
❑
Working with one decal at a time, use a pair of scissors to carefully cut out the decal along its outer edges.
❑
Remove the protective backing from the decal and apply the decal to the airplane. (Use the box cover photos to
position the decals.) Lightly rub the decal with a soft cloth to remove any trapped air from beneath it.
☛
If any air bubbles form in the decal you can "prick" the bubble with a straight pin to release the air.
❑
Repeat the steps above to apply the remaining decals. Rub each decal down thoroughly to adhere it into place.

SECTION 10: BALANCING THE CRAZY MAX EP
YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING SUPPLIES:
❑
Pencil
IMPORTANT
It is critical that your airplane be balanced correctly. Improper balance will cause your airplane to lose control and crash!
Center of Gravity Location:
2-7/8" back from the leading edge of the wing, at the sides of the wing mount.
WARNING
This location is recommended for initial test flying. The C.G. can be moved aft up to 1/2", but it is not recommended
that the C.G. be located any farther back than 3-3/8".
IMPORTANT
As you move the C.G. further aft, you may find you need to either trim the elevator down slightly or add about 2 degrees
of downthrust in the motor to prevent the airplane from climbing.
☛
Balance the Crazy Max EP with the flight battery
installed.
❑
Install the wing onto the fuselage.
❑
Measure back and draw two marks on the
bottom
of the wing, 2-7/8" back from the leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
❑
Place your fingers on the marks, and carefully lift the airplane. If the nose of the airplane falls, the airplane is nose
heavy. To correct this, move the battery pack and/or receiver back far enough to bring the airplane into balance. If the tail
of the airplane falls, the airplane is tail heavy. To correct this, move the battery pack and/or receiver forward enough to
bring the airplane into balance. When balanced correctly, the airplane should sit level or slightly nose down when you lift
it up with your fingers at the C.G. location.
☛
Once you have flown and become familiar with the flight characteristics of the airplane, the C.G. can be moved fore
or aft up to 1/4" in each direction to change the flight performance. Moving the C.G. back will cause the airplane to be
more responsive, but less stable. Moving the C.G. forward will cause the airplane to be more stable, but less responsive.
Do not fly the airplane beyond the recommended balance range or an uncontrollable crash could
result!
