construction

provides the solid, precise feel

a balsa profile plane without the weight. This

allows you to fly the

Galaxy-F3P

ARF outside

windier conditions that would

keep most other profile foamies grounded. The

Motor Thrust To ensure great flight performance and to be able to trim your airplane properly, it is critical that you adjust the motor thrust as described. We suggest that you add 2 degrees of down-thrust and 1 degrees of right-thrust. This can be achieved by adding a washer or two behind the top and right side of the motor (between the motor and the firewall}. When set properly, the trim for the elevator and the rudder should be neutral.
