Balance the Model
The C.G. (Center of Gravity) is the location on the wing where
the model balances and has a great effect on how the plane
will fl y. If the C.G. is too far aft (tail heavy), the model will be
too responsive. If the C.G. is too far forward (nose heavy), the
model will not be responsive enough.
❏
1. Remove the battery hatch on the front of the fuselage.
Install the battery into the fuselage.
❏
2. On the bottom of the wing, place a mark 1-7/8" [48 mm]
from the leading edge of the wing.
Place your fi ngers on these marks and lift the plane.. The
fuselage should remain level – it may be helpful to have an
assistant view the plane from the side. If the fuselage does not
rest level, move the location of the battery until the fuselage is
level. As long as the fuselage is level with your fi ngers within
the C.G. range, the balance is acceptable, and the plane is
ready to fl y.
C.G. Range
Forward C.G. 1-3/4" [44mm] from the
leading edge of the wing.
Recommended C.G. 1-7/8" [48mm] from the
leading edge of the wing
Aft C.G. 2" [ 51mm] from the
leading edge of the wing.
Identify Your Model
No matter if you fl y at an AMA sanctioned R/C club site or if
you fl y somewhere on your own, you should always have your
name, address, telephone number and AMA number on or
inside your model. It is required at all AMA R/C club fl ying sites
and AMA sanctioned fl ying events. Fill out the identifi cation
tag on page 19 and place it on or inside your model.
Charge the LiPo Battery
Note: LiPo batteries require special care and handling. Be
certain to follow the instructions that came with your LiPo
battery and charger to charge and handle them correctly. If
using the Smart Charger, refer to Smart Charger instructions
for charging. Note that the Smart Charger has an internal timer
that automatically discontinues the charge after 160 minutes
(2 hours, 40 minutes). Some larger batteries in the 2100mAh
range that are deeply discharged may require longer than 160
minutes to charge, prompting the Smart Charger to shut off. If
this happens, simply disconnect the battery from the charger,
wait for the GREEN LED to illuminate, and then reconnect the
battery to the charger to continue charging. NEVER leave a
charging battery unattended.
AMA SAFETY CODE
Read and abide by the following excerpts from the Academy
of Model Aeronautics Safety Code. For the complete Safety
Code refer to Model Aviation magazine, the AMA web site or
the Code that came with your AMA license.
General
1) I will not fl y my model aircraft in sanctioned events, air shows,
or model fl ying demonstrations until it has been proven to be
airworthy by having been previously, successfully fl ight tested.
