2. Mark the C.G. on the top of the wing. Usually this would be

done with small strips of tape so you can feel the C.G. locations

with your ﬁ ngers while suspending the model upside-down, but

tape can peel off the paint, so another method has to be used

for marking the C.G. that you can still feel with your ﬁ ngers.

3. Insert a pin into both sides of the top of the wing 2"

[51mm] back from the leading edge at the “break.” After the

C.G. has been checked the pins will be removed.

NOTE: This is where your model should balance for the

ﬁ rst ﬂ ights. Later, you may experiment by shifting the C.G.

1/4" [6mm] forward or 1/4" [6mm] back to change the ﬂ ying

characteristics. Moving the C.G. forward will improve the

smoothness and stability, but the model will then be less

aerobatic (which may be ﬁ ne for less-experienced pilots).

Moving the C.G. aft makes the model more maneuverable

and aerobatic for experienced pilots. In any case, start at

the recommended balance point and do not at any time

balance the model outside the speciﬁ ed range.

4. Mount your battery in the fuselage. Place the cockpit

hatch onto the fuselage, then turn the model upside-down

lifting it with your ﬁ ngers at the pins that mark the balance

point. If the fuselage doesn’t balance level as shown in the

photo, reposition the battery as necessary until you can get

the fuselage level.

❏

5. Once you know where the battery goes mount the receiver

with the included adhesive-back Velcro patches, or double-

sided adhesive foam tape (not included). Re check the C.G.

❏

6. Once the battery location has been ﬁ nalized, you could

mark the fuselage so you will always know where to mount

the battery.

7. Connect the servos and ESC to their respective channels

in the receiver and secure the receiver antenna(s) with tape.
