3. (Retracts CG) When flying with retracts, balance
your model with the landing gear UP measuring 2
inches to 3
/
inches (67mm to 79mm) back from the

leading edge. Mark the location of the CG on the top of
the wing with a felt-tipped pen.
4. When balancing your model, make sure it is assembled
and ready for flight. Support the plane inverted at the marks
made on the wing with your fingers, or use a commercially
available balancing stand. This is the correct balance point
for your model.
5. You should find the CG to be very close with the
components installed as shown in this manual. If the nose
of your aircraft hangs low, add weight to the rear of the
aircraft. If the tail hangs low, add weight to the nose of the
aircraft. Self-stick weights (HAN3626) are available at your
local hobby store and work well for this purpose.

1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your model.
Check the movement of the rudder using the transmitter.
When the stick is moved to the right, the rudder should
also move right. Reverse the direction of the servo at the
transmitter if necessary.
2. Check the movement of the elevator with the radio
system. Moving the elevator stick toward the bottom of the
transmitter will make the airplane elevator move up.
3. Check the movement of the ailerons with the radio
system. Moving the aileron stick to the right will make the
right aileron move up and the left aileron move down.
4. Use a ruler to adjust the throw of the elevator, ailerons
and rudder.
