Final Assembly; Weight And Balance; Control Throws - Kangke TEXAS HURRICANE Assembly Manual

Mount the radio receiver and switch as directed by
the manufacture. Install the antenna. Install the
canopy / top cover.
At this point its time to prepare for final assembly.
All radio equipment except the battery should be
installed as per the manufacture instructions. The
location of the battery may be used to aid in final
balance.

FINAL ASSEMBLY

Additional paint and exterior trim such as decals
and numbers may be added. Whatever details you
add keep in mind that weight is the enemy of a
high performance aircraft KEEP IT LIGHT.

WEIGHT AND BALANCE

Nothing affects the way a plane flies more than
weight and balance. Failure to perform this
procedure may result in an aircraft that is at
best difficult to control and at worst impossible
to fly. Even small changes in the balance point
make large changes in stability. For your first
flights we recommend using a balance point at
the forward end of the center of gravity {C.G.}
range, this location will provide the most
stability. As your comfort and skill increase
slowly move the C.G. aft to increase the control
response.
The recommended starting range for the C.G. is 4
3/4 inches to 5 1/4 inches back from the leading
edge of the wing measured against the side of the
fuselage.
Turn the aircraft upside down and support it at that
location. Because of the mid-wing configuration it
is very difficult to get the plane to balance, be
patient you can do it. Slide the battery pack to a
position where the plane will balance level. Mount
the battery inside the fuselage at the determined
location.. Reinstall the wing and check the C.G.
again. If necessary add weight to the nose or tail.

CONTROL THROWS

With your radio on, center all trims and adjust
the clevises so all control surfaces are straight.
Measure the control surface movement at the
widest part of each surface. Use the servo horns
and bell crank holes to adjust the control throw.
For your first flights the control throws should
be set to the following:
Elevator 5/8-inch up / down
Rudder 1 1/4- inch right / left
Aileron 3/8-inch up / down
Double check all controls move in the proper
direction.
