Accurately mark the balance point on the
top of the wing on both sides of the fuse-
lage. The balance point is located 110 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. Moving the bal-
ance forward may improve the smooth-
ness and arrow- like tracking, but it may
then require more speed for take off and
make it more difficult to slow down for
landing. Moving the balance aft makes
the model more agile with a lighter and
snappier "feel". In any case,please start at
the location we recommend .
With the wing attached to the fuse-
lage, all parts of the model installed
( ready to fly), and empty fuel tanks,
hold the model at the marked bal-
ance point with the stabilizer level.
Lift the model. If the tail drops when you
lift, the model is "tail heavy" and you
must add weight* to the nose. If the nose
drops, it is "nose heavy" and you must
add weight* to the tail to balance.
*If possible, first attempt to balance the
model by changing the position of the re-
ceiver battery and receiver. If you are un-
able to obtain good balance by doing so,
then it will be necessary to add weight to
the nose or tail to achieve the
proper balance point.
