Balancing The Centre Of Gravity - Carson MINIMOA Instruction Manual

1 Insert the wing's connecting
GB GB
spar carefully into one wing up
to the V-shaped bend.
2 Hold the spar firmly and push
the wing onto the other side.
Use a slightly screwing motion
if this is difficult. Then push
both wings together
completely with the
servomotor connection cables
hanging downwards.
3 Engage the wing attachment
and connection plate on the
end of the wings and click into
position in the reinforced hole.
When assembling the wing on the fuselage, the
servo connectors of the aileron's servomotor must
be joined to the connectors of the cable distributor
in connection point 1 ("AILE" => aileron) the
receiver. Aileron joystick towards the right:
Deflection of right aileron upwards, left aileron
downwards. Other side accordingly reversed.
Caution! The motor may start up inadvertently if
operated wrongly.
Keep a firm grip on the fuselage. Switch the

BALANCING THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY

An airplane's centre of gravity is designed to be in
a certain relation to its lifting areas and the

it is set up correctly on delivery. The
margin at which the centre of gravity may move in
relation to the ideal set up is very small. You can
check the centre of gravity of the
holding it up at the points shown (140 mm from the
rear edge of the wing) with two fingers. It should
then slightly swing around the horizontal position
and not be inclined to the front or rear.
If the nose or tail sections have a tendency to tilt
downwards, the weight is biased in this direction.
Occasionally the centre of gravity of the aeroplane
may have to be corrected e.g. after a repair, by the
addition of small weights. These should be applied

Insert the wing using the rear edge of the

the cut-out on the front edge engages into the
nose on the fuselage. Screw the wings down
using two screws.

using double sided tape and should be equally
balanced. A centre of gravity which is too far
rearward (nose too light) will make flying difficult
and needs to be corrected.
