CAUTION: Do not inadvertently skip this step or
property damage and injury could occur.
When balancing your model, adjust the motor battery
as necessary so the model is level or slightly nose
down. This is the correct balance point for your model.
You should find the CG to be very close with the
battery installed as shown in this manual. Mark the
location of the battery on the battery tray using a felt-
tipped pen so it can be returned to this position if it is
removed from your model.
After the first flights, the CG position can be adjusted
for your personal preference.
 1. The recommended Center of Gravity (CG)
location for your model is 3.50 to 3.75 inches (89
to 95mm) back from the leading edge of the wing
as shown with the battery pack installed. Mark the
location of the CG on the top of the wing with a felt-
tipped pen.
 2. When balancing your model, support the plane
inverted at the marks made on the top of the wing
with your fingers or a commercially available
balancing stand. This is the correct balance point
for your model. Make sure your model is assembled
and ready for flight before balancing.
Balancing Stand
If you have installed retracts, balance
your model with the gear down.
Control Throws
 1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your
model. Check the movement of the rudder using the
transmitter. When the stick is moved right, the rudder
should also move right. Reverse the direction of the
servo at the transmitter if necessary.
 2. Check the movement of the elevator with the radio
system. Moving the elevator stick toward the bottom
of the transmitter makes the airplane elevator move
up.
 3. Check the movement of the ailerons with the
radio system. Moving the aileron stick right makes
the right aileron move up and the left aileron move
down.
 4. Use a ruler to adjust the throw of the elevator,
ailerons and rudder. Adjust the position of the
pushrod at the control horn to achieve the following
measurements when moving the sticks to their
endpoints.
