BALANCING.
1) 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 88MM BACK
FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF
THE WING AT THE WING ROOT.
3) With the model inverted, place your
ngers on the masking tape and carefully
li the plane.
Accurately mark the balance point on the
top of the wing on both sides of the fuse-
lage. e balance point is located 88mm
back from the leading edge of the wing at
the wing root. is is the balance point
at which your model should balance for
your rst ights. Later, you may wish to
experiment by shiing the balance up to
10mm forward or back to change the y-
ing 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 dicult to slow down for landing.
Moving the balance a makes the model
more agile with a lighter and snappier
”feel”. In any case,please start at the lo-
cation we recommend .
2) Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using
a couple of pieces of masking tape, place
them on the top side of the wing 88mm
back from the leading edge of the wing at
the wing root.
