Using a couple of pieces of masking tape, place them on the top side of the wing 60=mm back from the leading edge of the wing at the wing root.
www.seagullmodels.com Accurately mark the balance point on the botttom of the wing on both sides of the fuselage. The balance point is located 60 mm back from the leading edge of the wing at the wing root. This is the balance point at which your model should balance for your first flights. Later, you may wish to experiment by shifting the balance up to 10mm forward or back to change the flying characteristics.
GLASAIR SPORTSMAN G2-2. PREFLIGHT CHECK. 1) Completely charge your transmitter and receiver batteries before your first day of flying. 2) Check every bolt and every glue joint in the GLASAIR SPORTSMAN G2-2 to ensure that everything is tight and well bonded. 3) Double check the balance of the airplane. Do this with the fuel tank empty. 4) Check the control surfaces. All should move in the correct direction and not bind in any way. Instruction Manual.
