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
Extra 260 480 is 3 inches (75mm) to 3
1 /
8
inches (79mm) back
measured from the center of the leading edge of the wing next
to the fuselage.
After your first flights, the Center of Gravity can be adjusted for
personal preference.
Range Test Your Radio
 1. Before each flying session, be sure to range check
your radio. This is accomplished by turning on your
transmitter with the antenna collapsed. Turn on the
receiver in your airplane. With your airplane on the
ground and the engine running, you should be able to
walk 30 paces (approximately 100 feet) away from your
airplane and still have complete control of all functions.
If not, don’t attempt to fly! Have your radio equipment checked
out by the manufacturer.
 2. Double-check that all controls (aileron,elevator, rudder
and throttle) move in the correct direction.
 3. Be sure that your transmitter batteries are
fully charged, per the instructions included
with your radio.
