Bind your aircraft and transmitter before doing these tests. Move the controls on the transmitter to make sure the aircraft control surfaces move correctly. After
doing the Control Test, correctly set failsafes. Make sure transmitter controls are at neutral and the throttle and throttle trim are in the low position, then rebind the
model to your transmitter. If the receiver loses its link to the transmitter, the failsafe makes the controls and throttle revert to the settings made at binding.

Center of Gravity (CG)

CG is generally located at 553mm to 565mm from the front end
of the aircraft. Flying wings like the Scimitar are more sensitive
to changes in CG. Not using the recommended CG position may
result in a variable or overall poor performance in some areas of
the fl ight envelope.

To start, place the recommended 3200mAh battery all the way
forward in the fuselage. Hold the battery in place using the front
and middle hook and loop straps. Adjust the battery’s position as
needed to stay in the recommended measurement range for CG.
