BALANCING.
1) 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 103-114MM BACK
FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF
THE WING AT THE WING ROOT.
2) Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using
a couple of pieces of masking tape, place
them on the top of the wing 103-114mm
back from the leading edge of the wing at
the wing root.
3) With the model inverted, place your
ingers on the masking tape and carefully
lit the plane.
Accurately mark the balance point on the
top of the wing on both sides of the fu-
selage. he balance point is located 103-
114mm back from the leading edge of
the wing at the wing root. his is the bal-
ance 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 characteristics. Mov-
ing the balance forward may improve
the smoothness and arrow- 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 light-
er and snappier "feel". In any case,please
start at the location we recommend .
