Great Planes Escapade ARF - GPMA1105 - Manual (Page 30)

❏
1. Use a felt-tip pen or narrow strips of tape to mark the
balance point on the bottom of the wing 1-1/2" [38mm] from
the leading edge on both sides of the fuselage.
❏
2. Lift the model right-side-up at the balance point you
marked on the bottom of the wing. If the nose drops, the
model is nose-heavy and you must add weight to the tail. If
the tail drops, the model is tail-heavy and you must add
weight to the nose. In some cases you can relocate the
receiver to achieve the correct balance without adding
additional weight.
❏
3. If additional weight is required to balance the model,
use small pieces of Great Planes stick-on weight
(GPMQ4485). If weight is required in the nose, do not stick
weight to the cowl. Remove the cowl and stick the weight to
the firewall. If weight is required in the tail, it can be stuck to
the top or bottom of the stab next to the fuselage.
