Center Of Gravity - FMS F-16 Fighting Falcon V2 Operating Manual

Check the C.G. (Center of Gravity)
When balancing your model, adjust the motor battery as necessary so the model is level or slightly nose down.
This is the correct balance point for your model. After the first flights, the CG position can be adjusted for your
personal preference.
1. The recommended Center of Gravity (CG) location for your model is (75-80mm) forward from the leading
edge of the main wing (as shown) with the battery pack installed. Mark the location of the CG on top of the
wing.
2. When balancing your model, support the plane at the marks made on the bottom of the main wing with your
fingers or a commercially available balancing stand. This is the correct balance point for your model. Make sure
the model is assembled and ready for flight before balancing.
Recommendation
Note：
For your first flight, we recommend you do not install the under wing fuel tanks and rockets., These extra
scale accessories can cause unwanted drag which can effect takeoff, landing, and flight trimming of the
aircraft, Once you have a full understanding of the aircraft flight performance and characteristics, you can
install and re-trim as needed.
