Position your battery in the battery tray and balance the model upright so that the model balances at between 65mm aft of the leading edge of the wing piece (see diagram) When using a battery other than the recommended Admiral 3s 2200mAh battery, always verify that the model balances at the recommended Center of Gravity (CG) position.
