Nose heavy
CG
The Zagi 5C will balance with the elevons in a neutral position. No reflex is necessary for washout or other
stability reasons. The suggested starting point for balance is 8 inches back from the nose. The best way to find
the balance point is to keep moving the battery back between flights in 1/8” increments until it is almost unflyable
(too elevator sensitive). Remember, the elevator travel volume can compensate for pitch sensitivity.
If the Zagi 5C requires reflex (up elevator) for level flight it is nose heavy. The weight in the nose pushes the
nose down. The elevons compensate in the ‘up’ elevator position creating drag.
Balanced
Lay the wing bottom-side-up. Tape a 1/4” dowel 8 inches back
from the nose (over the center spar). A round pencil or ball-point
pen can be used. Place the wing right-side-up on a flat surface.
Balance is achieved when the wing balances momentarily on the
dowel. Do not add nose weight. Move the battery forward or aft to
balance.

Cut a piece of foam the size of the space between the battery and
the front of the electronics bay to maintain batterty position.
Tape the hatch cover over the electronics bay. Leave the last inch
without tape to provide access to the switch.
