BALANCING.

1)It is critical that your airplane be bal- anced correctly. Improper balance will cause your plane to lose control and crash. The cen- ter of gravity is locate100-110mmback from the leading edge of the wing, measured at the fuselage.

2)If the nose of the plane falls, the plane is nose heavy. To correct this first move the battery pack further back in the fuselage. If this is not possible or does not correct it, stick small amounts of lead weight on the fuselage sides under the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail

of the plane falls, the plane is tail heavy. To correct this, move the battery and receiver for-

ward orif this is not possible, stick weight onto the firewall or use a brass heavy hub spinner hub, similar to those offered by Harry Higley. When balanced correctly, the airplane should sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it up with your fingers.

CONTROL THROWS.

1)We highly recommend setting up the EDGE 540 using the control throws listed at right. We have listed control throws for both Low Rate (initial test flying/sport flying) and High Rate (aerobatic flying).
