Radio Installation & Setup
Take the time to properly balance and trim your aircraft.
Use the suggested throws below as your starting point
then fine tune to your flying preferences after your first
few flights.
You can adjust your CG depending on your flying style.
If you fly aggressive 3D aerobatics you’ll want to find a
more of a neutral CG. When its flown level inverted it
requires little to no elevator input to maintain altitude.
If you enjoy sport & precision aerobatics you’ll wa
nt a
slightly nose heavy CG.
To test the CG fly left or right at about 3/4 to full throttle
and pull to a 45 degree up-line. Roll inverted and let go
of the elevator stick. A correct nose heavy CG will slowly
arc to the level. A neutral CG should nearly hold the up-
line. And a tail heavy CG will steepen the up-line.
While the final setup is of personal preference, these are
some general guidelines to make your first flight a
success.
Enjoy your new plane!
We at AJ Aircraft sincerely hope you enjoy flying the AJ
