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 Mini Funtana is 3

1

/

8

" (80mm) behind the

leading edge of the wing against the fuselage.

Use this CG and the rearward wing position

to the first flights until you have become more

experienced.

For experienced pilots and extreme 3D performance,

move the wing to the forward location. This will

provide a neutral feel when inverted and will

allow the Mini Funtana to really cut loose. It is

best to increase the exponential values used to

maintain a smooth feel. The CG may be placed

as far back as 3

7

/

16

" (88mm).

Note

: The wing has two different mounting

positions, which provides more flexibility with

adjusting the CG. Using the rearward wing

position will allow the aircraft to balance at

the forward CG for precision aerobatics. The

forward wing position is used to achieve the

rearward CG for extreme 3D aerobatics.
