Step 6: Balancing Your Model
Check the center of gravity (CG) on your model
by balancing it on your fingers.The CG should
be at about the same place as the servo leads on
the bottom of the wing. You can adjust the CG by
moving the battery forward or backwards.

PREPARING FOR FLIGHT

SECTION 3

SECTION 4

Speed Control Operation
The ESC is set for optimal performance at the factory and should not be changed. Before connecting the
battery, make sure the throttle is in the lowest (off) position. If the throttle is not in the lowest, off position,
the speed control will not initialize. If this happens, you will need to disconnect the battery and repeat the
initialization sequence.

Flying Your Plane
Before taking off, perform a radio range check and make sure all your control surfaces are operating in
the proper direction. Take off into the wind and climb to 50 feet to begin your trim out procedures. Once
trimmed out, feel free to test the performance of the plane by performing a variety of aerobatic
maneuvers.
