If exposed to direct sunlight and/or heat, wrinkels can appear. Storing the
model in a cool place will let the wrinkles disappear. Otherwise, remove
wrinkles in covering film with a hair dryer, starting with
low temperature. You can fix the corners by using a hot iron.
Bei Sonneneinstrahlung und/oder Wärme kann die Folie erschlaffen bzw. Falten

Apply a thin layer of machine oil or petroleum jelly to only the pivot point of the hinges
on the elevator, then push the elevator and its hinges into the hinge slots in the
trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer. There should be a minimal hinge gap and
the end of the elevator should not rub against the horizontal stabilizer.
When satisfied with the and alignment, hinge the elevator to the horizontal stabilizer
using 5 minute epoxy. Make sure to apply a thin layer of epoxy to the top and bottom
of both hinges and to inside the hinge slots. Repeat the previous procedures to hinge
the second elevator to the other side of the horizontal stabilizer.

IMPORTANT: Flying your model at these throws will provide you with the greatest chance for successful first flights.
If,after you have become accustomed to the way the Pilatus flies, you would like to change the throws to suit your taste
that is fine. However, too much control throw could make the model difficult to control, so remember, “more is not always better”.
1- Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple of pieces of masking tape, place them
on the top side of the wing (90-95mm) back from the leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
2- Lift the airplane. Place your fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift the plane.
3- If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is heavy nose. To correct this, move the battery pack further back in the fuselage.
If the tail of plane falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this, move the battery forward or if this is not possible, stick weight
onto the firewall.
When balanced correctly, the airplane should level or slightly nose down when you lift it up with your fingers.
LATERAL BALANCE:
After you have balanced a plane on the CG, you should laterally balance it. Doing this will help the airplane track straighter.
1- Turn the airplane upside down. Attach one loop of heavy string to the engine crankshaft and one to the tail wheel wire.
With the wing level, carefully lift the airplane by the string. This may require two people to make easier.
2- If one side of the wing fall, that side is heavier than the opposite. Add small amounts of lead weight to the bottom side
of the lighter wing half’s wing tip. Follow this procedure until the wing stays level when you lift the airplane.
IMPORTANT: Please do not clean your model with strong solvent or pure alcohol, only use kerosene to keep the
colour of your model not fade.
