now power down your airplane and transmitter. To
do this follow these steps.
A. Unplug the aircraft battery.
B. Turn transmitter off.
Center of Gravity
An important part of preparing the aircraft for flight is
properly balancing the model.
Caution: Do not inadvertently skip this step!
The recommended Center of Gravity (CG) location for
the Apprentice is 3 1 /
8
to 3 3 /
8
(79 to 85mm) back from
the leading edge of the top wing. Mark the location for
the Center of Gravity on the bottom of the top wing in
the center as shown.
When balancing your Apprentice, support the plane
upright at the marks made on the bottom of the
wing with your fingers or a commercially available
balancing stand. Move the speed control and/or
receiver as necessary so the model hangs level or
slightly nose down. This is the correct balance point for
your model.
