APPLY THE DECALS

If all the decals are precut and ready to
stick. Please be certain the model is clean
and free from oily ingerprints and dust.
Position decal on the model where de-
sired, using the photos on the box and aid
in their location.
If all the decals are not precut, please use
scissors or a sharp hobby knife to cut the
decals from the sheet. Please be certain
the model is clean and free from oily in-
gerprints and dust. Position decal on the
model where desired, using the photos on
the box and aid in their location.
BALANCING
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 170MM BACK
FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF
THE WING AT THE WING ROOT.
Mount the wing to the fuselage. Place a
piece of masking tape on the top of each
wing 170mm back from the leading edge
at the wing root.
With the model inverted, place your in-
gers on the masking tape and carefully
lit the plane. his is the point at which
your model should balance for your irst
lights. Later, you may wish to experiment
by shiting the balance up to 10mm
forward or back to change the lying char-
acteristics. Moving the balance forward
may improve the smoothness and ar-
row- like tracking, but it may then require
more speed for take of and make it
more diicult to slow down for landing.
Moving the balance at makes the model
more agile with a lighter and snappier
"feel". In any case, please start at the loca-
tion we recommend.
*If possible, irst attempt to balance the
model by changing the position of the
receiver battery and receiver. If you are
unable 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.
With the wings attached to the fuselage,
all parts of the model installed ( ready to
ly), and empty fuel tanks, hold the mod-
el at the marked balance point with the
stabilizer level.
