Step 1. Insert the carbon fibre wing tube with the pre-drilled hole end into the right wing. Align
the lines marked at the wing root and wing tube, then apply the M3 x 25mm nylon screw through
the pre-drilled hole on top of the wing. ( please confirm the alignment of the hole by putting a
2.5mm diameter rod through the pre-drilled wing hole before applying the screw ) The hole on
the wing tube is pre-threaded, do not over tighten the M3 screw, the set up is for future removal
of the wing.

The ideal C.G. position is 85mm (3.3 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.
