BALANCING
- It is critical that your airplane be
balanced correctly. Improper balance will
cause your plane to lose control and crash.
THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED
95MM BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE
OF THE WING AT THE WING ROOT.
- Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a cou-
ple of pieces of masking tape, place them on
the top side of the wing 95mm back from the
leading edge of the wing at the wing root.
- 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 fuselage. e
balance point is located 95 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 balance for-
ward may improve the smoothness 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 .
- Lif 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.
- With the wing attached to the fuselage, all
parts of the model installed ( ready to y), and
empty fuel tanks, hold the model at the marked
balance point with the stabilizer level.
*If possible, st attempt to balance the model
by changing the position of the receiver battery
and receiver. If you are unable 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.
