BALANCING - DO NOT SKIP THIS !
It is critical that your airplane be
balanced correctly. Improper balance will
cause your plane to lose control and
crash. THE CENTER OF GRAV-
ITY IS LOCATED 125-145MM BACK
FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF
THE WING AT THE WING ROOT.
Mount the wing to the fuselage. Place a
piece of masking tape on the top of each
wing 145mm back from the leading edge
at the wing root.
Landing gear should be in the “up” re-
tracted position when balancing.
With the model inverted, place your
ngers on the masking tape and carefully
li the plane. is is the point at which
your model should balance for your rst
ights. Later, you may wish to experi-
ment by shiing the balance up to 10mm
forward or back to change the ying
characteristics. Moving the balance
forward may improve the smoothness
and arrow- like tracking, but it may then
require more speed for take o and make
it more dicult to slow down for landing.
Moving the balance a makes the model
more agile with a lighter and snappi-
er ”feel”. In any case, please start at the
location we recommend.
* If possible, rst attempt to balance the
model by changing the position of the
receiver battery and receiver. If you are
unable to obtain good balance by doing
so, then it will be necessary to add weight
to the nose or tail to achieve the proper
balance point.
With the wings attached to the fuselage,
all parts of the model installed ( ready
to y), and empty fuel tanks, hold the
model at the marked balance point with
the stabilizer level.
Li the model. If the tail drops when
you li, the model is “tail heavy” and you
must add weight* to the nose. If the nose
drops, it is “nose heavy” and you must
add weight* to the tail to balance.
