4. See where the Phazer balances supported at the middle

holes in the support guides. Shift the battery forward or back
as necessary and/or temporarily lay segments of lead ballast
over the nose to get it to balance. Our prototypes required
approximately .5 oz. in the nose to balance at the recommended
location, or no ballast to balance slightly aft.

5. Once you fi nd out how much (if any) ballast is required

and/or where to position the battery on the mount plate, install
the weight inside the fuselage.

6. Double-check the C.G. with the gauge. Make any

adjustments necessary by shifting the battery, then mark the
fi nal location of the battery onto the battery plate so you will
always know where to position it.

Set the Control Throws

To ensure a successful fi rst fl ight it is important that the
Phazer is set up according to the control throws specifi ed
in this manual. The throws have been determined through
actual fl ight testing and accurate record-keeping allowing the
model to perform in the manner in which it was intended. If,
after you have become accustomed to the way the Phazer
fl ies, you would like to change the throws to suit your taste,
that is fi ne. However, too much control throw could make the
model too responsive and diffi cult to control, so remember,
“more is not always better.”

1. Turn on the transmitter and connect the motor battery.

Double-check that the elevons respond in the correct direction
according to your transmitter stick movments. Adjust the
programming as necessary.

2. With the trims and sub trims in your transmitter centered,

loosen the collars and adjust the pushrods so the elevons will
have 1/32" to 1/16" [.8mm – 1.6mm] up trim relative to the

wing tip. This is the normally-trimmed condition which allows
the Phazer to fl y level.

3. One-at-a-time, remove the set screws in the collars,

lightly wet the threads with threadlocker, then securely tighten
the screws.
