These control throws are merely a starting point for
your radio setup and can be tailored to fit your flying
style.
48.Balancing your model is very important and must
not be overlooked. The center of gravity (CG) is
2 3/8" behind the leading edge of the wing near
the wing root, parallel with the fuselage. You can
adjust the battery pack forward or backward to
reach the right CG.

FIRST FLIGHTS
Checks You Should Make
Before you attempt to fly your model you should
perform some final checks:
1. Fully charge your radio and flight batteries
following the manufacturers instructions.
2.Check the direction of travel of your control surfaces
and the operation of the motor controller per the
manufacturers instructions.
3.Range check your radio system per the
manufacturers instructions.
4. Double check that you have installed the screws in
the servo control arms and that the clevis are
snapped tightly on the control horns.
We strongly recommend that you get help from an
experienced R/C pilot to learn to fly if you are just
beginning. You should be able to find help at your
local dealer or club field.
Flying Your Soaring Star
First of all, if you are flying with other flyers, check to
make sure they are not operating on the same
frequency as you. If they are, do not turn on your
radio until they have safely landed and have turned
their radios off.
Secondly, even though the Soaring Star is very easy
to fly, if you are a novice modeler/pilot, we highly
recommend that you seek the help of an experienced
modeler for your first few flights. He can save you a
lot time and possible disappointment by helping you
get your model in the air safely and getting it trimmed
out for you.
Important: The radio control system is set up to
operate the control surfaces just like a real airplanes
as if the pilot (you) are sitting in cockpit controlling the
airplane. When you want the plane to dive, you push
the elevator stick forward (up), to climb you pull the
stick back (down), to turn right, you move the aileron
stick to right with elevator up and visa versa. When
youwant to turn the motor on you push the throttle
