3) Turn the airplane upside down. Place
your ngers on the masking tape and
carefully li the plane .
Accurately mark the balance point on the
top of the wing on both sides of the fuse-
lage. e balance point is located 110 mm
back from the leading edge of the wing at
the wing root. is is the balance point
at which your model should balance for
your rst ights. Later, you may wish to
experiment by shiing the balance up
to 10mm forward or back to change the
ying characteristics. Moving the bal-
ance forward may improve the smooth-
ness and arrow- like tracking, but it may
then require more speed for take o and
make it more dicult to slow down for
landing. Moving the balance a makes
the model more agile with a lighter and
snappier ”feel”. In any case,please start at
the location we recommend .
With the wing attached to the fuse-
lage, all parts of the model installed
( ready to y), and empty fuel tanks,
hold the model at the marked bal-
ance point with the stabilizer level.
Li the model. If the tail drops when you
li, the model is “tail heavy” and you
must add weight* to the nose. If the nose
drops, it is “nose heavy” and you must
add weight* to the tail to balance.
*If possible, rst attempt to balance the
model by changing the position of the re-
ceiver battery and receiver. If you are un-
able to obtain good balance by doing so,
then it will be necessary to add weight to
the nose or tail to achieve the
proper balance point.
