Installing The Battery; Final Flight Preparation; Center Of Gravity (C.g.); Balance The Model Laterally - Hobbico Edge 540 RB FLWA4140 Instruction Manual

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

As underlay of the battery, a anti-slip mat of the DIY-store is
very useful. You can fi x this mat with a double-sided adhesive
tape to the battery-place.
For fi xing the battery, we recommend the Flitework battery
belt with 200mm.
The 2200mAh battery in correct position.

FINAL FLIGHT PREPARATION

CENTER OF GRAVITY (C.G.)

More than any other factor, the C.G. (center of gravity/
balance point) can have the greatest eff ect on how a model
fl ies and could determine whether or not your fi rst fl ight will
be successful. If you value your model and wish to enjoy it
for many fl ights, DO NOT OVERLOOK THIS IMPORTANT
PROCEDURE. A model that is not properly balanced may be
unstable and possibly unfl yable.
The CG-point is 70-80mm back from the leading edge of
the main wing, measured close to the fuselage. The middle
of the wing joiner are at 80mm. Mark the CG with a permanent
marker or with small adhesive dots.
The nose of the plane should point downward a little, if you
hold the model at the CG points. Move the battery until the
CG is correct.

BALANCE THE MODEL LATERALLY

❍ 1. With the wing level, have an assistant help you lift the
model by the engine propeller shaft and the bottom of
the fuse under the TE of the fi n. Do this several times.
❍ 2. If one wing always drops when you lift the model, it
means that side is heavy. Balance the airplane by adding
weight to the other wing tip. An airplane that has been
laterally balanced will track better in loops and other
maneuvers.

CHECK THE CONTROL DIRECTIONS

❍ 1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center the
trims. If necessary, remove the servo arms from the servos
and reposition them so they are centered. Reinstall the
screws that hold on the servo arms.
❍ 2. With the transmitter and receiver still on, check all the
control surfaces to see if they are centered. If necessary,
adjust the clevises on the pushrods to center the control
surfaces.
