Great Planes Sequence 1.20 EP/GP ARF - GPMA1232 - Manual (Page 24)

24
FINAL ASSEMBLY
Set the C.G.
Determine where the model balances before mounting
the receiver battery. Then, mount the battery where
required to achieve the correct C.G.
❏
1. With the exception of the receiver battery, receiver and
on/off switch, the Sequence should otherwise be in ready-
to-fl y condition with everything else installed (including the
motor battery positioned in the approximate location shown
in previous photos if using an electric motor).
❏
2. Mount the receiver battery to whichever of the two
included plywood mounting plates fi ts best.
❏
3. If you will be balancing the model with your fi ngers
mark the recommended C.G. location and the forward and
aft C.G. on the top of the wing as shown.
Forward C.G. location 6" [150mm]
Recommended C.G. 6-3/4" [170mm]
Aft C.G. location 7-1/2" [190mm]
❏
4. Use a Great Planes C.G. Machine or lift the model
with your fi ngers at the balance point. Position the receiver
battery over the fuselage (and/or shift the motor battery) to
get the model to balance.
❏
5. Securely mount the receiver battery in the location
required to get the desired C.G.; then, mount the receiver,
switch and an external charge receptacle using the included
plastic mounting plate for the Futaba mini switch and Ernst
charge receptacle. If using a different switch or charge
receptacle, cut the mounting through the side of the fuselage
holes as necessary.
❏
6. Connect the servos to the receiver. Also connect a 6"
[150mm] servo extension into each of the two channels you
will be using in the receiver for the ailerons. Use pieces of the
included small plastic tubing for mounting the Rx antennas.
❏
7. IMPORTANT: Once the receiver battery and the rest of
the radio components have been mounted, recheck the C.G.
Any small adjustments required can be made with Great
Planes stick-on lead weights (GPMQ4485).
