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
F-15 Eagle ARF is 3
3 /
8
-inch (85mm) back from the leading edge
of the wing. Mark the location of the CG on the top of the wing.
You will notice two small dot stickers have been applied for your
reference.
Please balance your model while it is upright with the batteries
installed. If using retracts, balance with the gear retracted.
If using (2) Thunder Power 2100 Pro-Lite Li-Po batteries, the
balance should come out very close to the mark. With the model
inverted, lift the model at the mark using your fingertips, or use
a commercially available balancing stand. The model will rest
level or slightly nose down when balanced correctly. Adjust the
position of the motor battery, or add weight to the nose or tail
if necessary to achieve the correct CG. Please understand that if
you use a different Li-Po battery than the one included, you will
need to rebalance the model to verify the Center of Gravity.
After the first flights, the CG position can be adjusted for your
personal preference.
