These instructions are updated with each new production run.  Any mods or changes to
the kit are included with each run.

3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive is the recommended adhesive for the assembly of the Zagi-
5C.   Since the Zagi-5C is all EPP the 77 Spray Adhesive will not damage the foam.  Shoe
Goo, Goop, or any of the other Goo or goop adhesives can be used with a weight penalty
of one to three ounces.

Balancing    The Zagi-5C balances at 8 inches back from the nose.  This means that most
of the outboard wing panels are behind center of gravity (CG).  Adding weight behind CG
means that more weight will be needed in the nose to achieve balance.  So you pay a
weight penalty twice or even more for adding the extra weight behind the CG.

Wing Panels    The wing panels are die-cut for standard servos. The die-cut electronics
bay will accept a receiver and a square AA size battery pack or Nicad batteries from 400
mAh to 1000 mAh.  A small 220 mAh battery may be used for extra light conditions.  The
electronics bay will accommodate almost any receiver size.  The die-cut servo bays can
be glued back in place and re-cut if different size servos are preferred.  Just push them out
and spray them with the adhesive and replace them.  Balsa shims can also be used to
assure a snug fit.  The wing is thick enough for the radio installation within the original
contours of the airfoil.  Radio gear should be invisible when it's covered.
