8. Connect the aileron and fl ap servo wires to the receiver—a
second Y-connector (not included) will be required for the fl aps.

9. Pack the excess fl ap and aileron servo wires back up
through the channel so they don’t interfere with the elevator
and rudder servos.
FINAL FLIGHT PREPARATION
Balance the Model
The C.G. (center of gravity) has a great effect on the way the
model fl ies. If the C.G. is not correct the Calypso could be too
stable (reacting too slowly to control inputs) or too instable
(reacting too quickly to control inputs) possibly causing a crash.
The C.G. must be checked with all of the components
installed including the battery.
❏
1. Install the battery and the canopy.

2. Lift the model with your fi ngertips on the middle lines,
marking the recommended C.G. Shift your fi ngers as necessary
until the model balances. As long as the model balances
suspended by your fi ngers anywhere between the forward and
aft lines, the model is within the acceptable C.G. range and is
ready to fl y. Beginner pilots should strive to get the Calypso
to balance directly on the recommended C.G. or between
the recommended C.G. and the forward C.G., making the
Calypso more stable.
