C.G.
83 mm
The ideal C.G. position is 83mm (3.26 in.) behind the leading edge measured at
where the wing meets the fuselage. In order to obtain the C.G. specified, add
weight to the fuselage or move the battery position. Check the C.G. before flying.
If you are converting this model to electric, please move the C.G. forward 10% of
current C.G. distance from leading edge to compensate for weight of fuel.

CAP 232 46S
# First time flyer should never fly by himself / herself. Assistance from experienced
flyer is absolutely necessary.
# Pre-flight adjustment must be done before flying, it is very dangerous to fly a badly
pre-adjusted aircraft.
# is specially designed to be powered by 2C 0.46 or 4C 0.70 engine,
using a more powerful engine does not mean better performance. In fact, over
powered engine may cause severe damage and injuries.
# Make sure the air field is spacious, never fly the plane too close to people and never
get too close to a running propeller.
# If you find wrinkles on the covering as a result of weather changes, you can use hot
iron to remove the wrinkles. Please begin with lower temperature setting and
gradually raise the temperature until the wrinkles are gone. Too hot an iron may
damage the covering. Don't use hot iron near the seams or edges, hot iron will
melt the glue and shrink the covering at the same time, causing the seams to pull away.
# Check and re-tighten up all factory assembled screws, use thread locker if necessary.

LINKAGE CONNECTOR
After fastening the round nut, make sure that the linkage connector can rotate freely.
Drill 2mm hole at servo horn.
Insert linkage connector
into servo horn.
Make sure shoulder of
screw is cleared from
servo horn.
Add washer to reduce
play if necessary.
Shoulder
Tighten up the round nut
against the shoulder. Apply
CA or permanent thread
locker.
