BALANCING
1. It is critical that your airplane be balanced correctly.
Improper balance will cause your plane to lose
control and crash.
Place receiver and battery in radio compartment and
adjust their position to make the plane blance on the
center of gravity (70mm from leading edge of wing).
Make sure the center of gravity is located where it is
indicated before flying. If additional tail or nose
weigh is needed, securely attach it at the nose or tail
as needed.
2. Wrap battery and receiver in protective foam
padding. Route the receiver antenna out of the
fuselage and to the rear of the airplane. Secure to
the vertical fin or one side of the horizontal stab with
a pin and small rubber band.
