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 GRAVITY IS LOCATED 90mm BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WING, AT THE FUSELAGE.
2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple of pieces of masking tape, place them on the top side of the wing 90mm back from the leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place your fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift the plane .
4. If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose heavy. To correct this first move the battery pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not possible or does not correct it, stick small amounts of lead weight on the fuselage under the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail of the plane falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this, move the battery and receiver forward or if this is not possible, stick weight into the firewall. When balanced correctly, the airplane should sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it up with your fingers
LATERAL BALANCE
After you have balanced a plane on the C.G. You
should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the airplane track straighter.
1. Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to the tail wheel wire. With the wings level, carefully lift the airplane by the string. This may require two people to make it easier.
2. If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to the bottom side of the lighter wing half's wing tip. Follow this procedure until the wing stays level when you lift the airplane.

FLIGHT PREPARATION pre filght check
1. Completely charge your transmitter and receiver batteries before your first day of flying.
2. Check every bolt and every glue joint in your plane to ensure that everything is tight and well bonded.
3. Double check the balance of the airplane
4. Check the control surface
5. Check the receiver antenna . It should be fully extended and not coiled up inside the fuselage.
6. Properly balance the propeller.
Ailerons : 12mm up 12mm down Elevator : 10mm up 10mm down Rudder : 20mm right 20mm left
CONTROL THROWS
1. We highly recommend setting up a plane using the control throws listed.
2. The control throws should be measured at the widest point of each control surface.
3. Check to be sure the control surfaces move in the correct directions.
