The ideal C.G. position is 127mm (5.0 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 racing the Strega over 100 mph, move C.G. forward

by 1/4 inch.

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

adjusted aircraft. pre -

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.
