ControlThrows Adjust the control throws as shown in the diagram.
These throws are good for general flying. You can
adjust according to your personal preference.
C.G.
20 The ideal C.G. position is 117mm (4.6 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
Warning!
# 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.
# 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 raisethe
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.
