C.G.
The ideal C.G. position is 45mm (1.77 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.

Important Safety Precautions
# 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 KM0283110 Outrunner Motor.
# Make sure the air field is spacious, never fly the plane too close to people and never
get too close to a running propeller.
# Check and re-tighten up all factory assembled screws, use thread locker if necessary.
