Place your fingers on the masking tape and care-
fully lift the airplane. If the nose of the airplane falls,
the airplane is nose heavy. To correct this, move the
flight battery back just 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 flight battery
forward only 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.
☛
Once you have flown and become familiar with the
flight characteristics of the Omega 636, the balance point
(C.G.) can be moved fore or aft up to 1/4" in each direc-
tion to change the flight performance. Moving the balance
point back will cause the airplane to be more responsive,
but less stable. Moving the balance point forward will
cause the airplane to be more stable, but less responsive.
Do not fly the Omega 636 beyond the recommended
balance range or an uncontrollable crash could result!
CONTROL THROWS
❑
1)
We recommend setting up the Omega 636 using
the control throws listed above. These control throws are
suggested for initial test flying.

2)
After you have become familiar with the flying
characteristics of the Omega 636, you may want to in-
crease the control throws to the settings listed below.
TEST FLYING
Elevator:
3/8 up
3/8 down
Ailerons:
3/8 up
3/8 down
❑
3)
For the elevator, you can increase or decrease
the amount of control throw by moving the clevis in or
out from the center of the servo horn. Moving the clevis
out will increase the control throw. Moving the clevis in
will decrease the control throw. For the ailerons you can
do the same by moving the clevis closer or farther away
from the wing. Moving the clevis away from the wing
will decrease the control throw. Moving the clevis to-
ward the wing will increase the control throw.

please see the next section for our recommended setup.

IF YOU'RE USING A COMPUTER RADIO....
If you are using a four or more channel computer radio
with the Omega 636 it presents you with a new and better
way to set up your airplane for superior performance. If
you're not familiar with your radio system, we highly sug-
gest you read and understand the operating instructions
that were provided with it, especially those sections that
detail mixing and differential settings.
RECOMMENDED SETUP
Elevator:
1/2 up
1/2 down
Ailerons:
1/2 up
1/4 down
(2:1 Differential)
Spoilerons: Both ailerons up 1/16"
Flaperons:
Both ailerons down 3/16"
Center of Gravity: 2-7/8" back from the
leading edge at the fuselage sides.
Aileron Differential:
Aileron differential corrects for adverse yaw while
decreasing the overall drag from aileron control surface
deflection.
Spoilerons:
By moving both ailerons up at the same time, the
overall drag of the wing is reduced, therefore the airplane
flies faster. Spoilerons should be used if you are flying
on a slope in high lift or if you want to try some high-
speed runs. Remember, spoilerons do decrease the lift of
the wing, so they're not good to use for thermalling.
Flaperons:
By moving both ailerons down at the same time, the
overall drag and lift of the wing is increased. This slows
down the landing speed and increases the rate of descent.
We don't recommend too much flaperon deflection be-
cause this will cause the aileron effectiveness to decrease.
The Omega 636 is a gentle flyer; however, it is de-
signed for more experienced fliers, so we don't recommend
it for beginners.
To hand-launch the Omega 636, gently grasp the fu-
selage between your thumb and forefinger at the C.G.
location. Hold the airplane above shoulder level and turn
on the motor to full power. With the motor running at full
power, firmly toss the Omega 636 straight ahead and level.
