BALANCE
Control Throws
The Rare Bear is very sensitive to elevator in flight, set the
control throws as followings for a starting point. After you
familar with its flying characteristics then these control throw
can be tailored to fit your flying style.
Center of Gravity
IMPORTANT- Do not attempt to fly your model before
completing this very important section. A model that is not
properly balanced will be unstable and could cause serious
damage and/or injury. Adjust the battery location or add
weight as needed to achieve level balance. Once you have
everything positioned as necessary,wrap your battery pack in
1/4" thick foam for protection.
Measure the C.G. while plane is dry. The balance
point is about 5 1/4" (13.3mm) behind the leading
edge where there is a panel line on fuselage.
Locate A Good Flying Site
Generally, the best place to fly your model is at an AMA
(Academy of Model Aeronautics) chartered club field. Your
local hobby dealer can tell you if there is such a club in your
area or write the AMA for information. It is also a good idea
to join this organization before flying your model since they
offer liability insurance that can protect you if your model
causes damage or injury to others.
Academy of Model Aeronautics
5151 East Memorial DR
Muncie, IN 47302-9252
If there is not a chartered club field in your community, you
will need to find a large area free of obstructions, and has a
smooth grass or asphalt surface to be used as a runway. For
safety’s sake, it should be located well away from houses,
buildings, schools, power lines and airports. If you will be
flying within 6 miles of an airport,you should check with the
airport manager before flying your model.
A Note On Batteries
The batteries are the heart of your radio system. Make sure
you have fully charged batteries! With rechargeable batteries,
follow the manufacturers instructions to make sure the
batteries are fully charged,especially the first time the radio is
used.
We would recommend you use larger capacity(1000mAh) if
you use high performance servos as they will draw more
current than ordinary servos.
