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. Fine-
tune the down-thrust and right-thrust until this trim
is
achieved.

Balance Point
The Center of Gravity (C/G or Balance Point)
is
80mm (
3.
15")
from the leading edge of the wing, measured at the center of the
wing.
WARNING For test flying and general sport flying, we suggest you
balance the airplane at the C/G recommended above. For
3D
flying, you may want to experiment moving the C/G back
in
small
increments until you're satisfied with the result.

If you are
new
to R/C we suggest you find an experienced pilot to check out your aircraft and help you with
the first few flights. This will help prevent damage to your model and will speed up the learning process
and
making
your
R/C experience all the more enjoyable.
You
can contact local R/C clubs
or
your dealer
to obtain the names
of
experienced R/C pilots who would be willingto help you with your first few flights.
Although this is an ARF (Almost-Ready-to-Fly} kit, it does have some construction features that can be
challenging to the less experienced modeler. If you

in
any construction sequence,
please feel free to contact one
of
our technicians, we stand ready to provide any assistance we can.
