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) 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 locate100-110mm back 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
