- Connect the aileron servos to the receiver using a Y-lead.
- Connect the servos and the speed controller to the receiver,
referring to the RC system instructions for the correct chan-
nel assignment and connector pin configuration (the orange
signal wire corresponds to the white wire in robbe-Futaba
systems). Place the receiver in the fuselage and deploy the
receiver aerial(s).

- On this model the Centre of Gravity "C.G." is located at
around the 60 mm point, measured from the wing root
leading edge.
- Place the battery in the model for balancing; do not con-
C.G. 60 mm
nect it.
- Mark the Centre of Gravity on both sides of the fuselage,
as shown in the underside view.
- Support the model at the marked points and allow it to
hang freely. Ideally the model will now balance level, with
the nose inclined slightly down.
- Adjust the position of the flight battery if necessary.
- Mark the battery location in the fuselage, so that you can
be confident of replacing it in the same position after remo-
ving it.
- With the battery in the correct position, fix it in place with
hook-and-loop tape so that it cannot shift in flight and alter
the model's balance.
- The model is ready to fly once you have recharged the
battery.
