25. Final assembly of the model
Thread the Velcro tape 50 once through the bottom of the
M-frame in the fuselage, forward of the wing retaining screw,
and position it in such a way that it projects by the same
length on both sides. Fix the Velcro in place with a drop
of Zacki Elapor. Attach the wing to the fuselage using the
plastic retaining screw 43. Decorate the model by applying
the decals supplied in the kit. Alternatively you can paint it
in the scheme of your choice using ELAPOR color paints.
26. Installing the fl ight battery, setting the correct Centre
of Gravity
The battery should not be installed until the model can be
completely assembled. Adjust the position of the battery
on the battery tray until the model balances 90 mm from
the root leading edge of the wing, i.e. measured at the fu-
selage, without requiring lead ballast. You will fi nd it easier
to balance the model if you hold it inverted. Use a piece of
Velcro to prevent the battery slipping out of position.
