Section 10: Balancing The Diamond Dust
Step 1
Recommended CG:
An important part of preparing the aircraft for flight is properly balancing the model.
The recommended Center of Gravity (CG) for the Diamond Dust is at the high point of the
main ribs to ½" in front of the high point.
If necessary, move the battery pack, receiver, or add weight to either the nose or the tail until
the correct balance is achieved. Stick-on weights are available at your local hobby shop and
work well for this purpose.
Note: It is always better to move equipment around on the aircraft instead of adding weight in
order to achieve proper balance.
If you have assembled this aircraft with the components we have suggested,
your balance should be very close.
Remember you can still move your engine forward or backwards on the motor mount plate.
To properly check the balance the aircraft,
suspend the plane with your fingers on the
leading edge of the wing where the forward
main spar intersects the leading edge.
