Motor installation 

Install the motor into the stick motor mount and velcro 
the speed control and receiver to the lower left side of 
the fuselage.

Flight set-up:

Use double stick Velcro on the battery and airframe to 
secure the battery to the bottom of the horizontal 
fuselage in a location that gives the model proper 
balance. Adjust the battery location back and forth to 
suit your flying style.  Use your computer radio to set 
the final sub-trims, exponential and dual rates. Double 
check the control directions before your first flight. 

With proper CG, the plane should fly nearly the 
same upright or upside-down.  

Good pilots 

experiment with various battery locations until the CG 
feels just right.

For indoor flying, we use 2 or 3 cell lipo packs rated at 
20C.  Batteries of 300 to 480 mah are perfect for 
giving good flight times and plenty of power. The final 
airplane weight should be between 6.0 and 7.5 oz

Center of Gravity: 

Yak-55 is 2.75” behind the leading edge of the wing.
Yak-54 is 2.75” behind the leading edge of the wing.
Edge 540 is 3.5” behind the leading edge of the wing.
Sbach 342 is 3” behind the leading edge of the wing.
Freestyle is 3” behind the leading edge of the wing.
MX2 is 3.75” behind the leading edge of the wing.
Fenix V2 is 3” behind the leading edge of the wing.

We hope you enjoy your airplane.
