- Note: the ailerons should be connected to the receiver using
a Y-lead.
- Installing the receiver: connect the servos and the speed
controller to the receiver, referring to the RC system inst-
ructions for the correct channel assignment and connector
pin configuration. (the orange signal wire corresponds to the
white wire used for robbe-Futaba systems).
- Place the receiver in the fuselage and route the receiver
aerial(s).

- On this model the Centre of Gravity "C.G." is located at
approximately the 60 mm point (measured from the wing
root leading edge).
- Place the battery in the model for balancing; do not con-
nect it.
- Mark the Centre of Gravity on both sides of the fuselage,
as shown in the view of the underside.
- 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, pack pieces of
scrap foam round it, so that it cannot shift in flight and alter
the model's balance.
- The model is ready for flying once you have recharged the
battery.
