BALANCE

It is important to balance the plane to get correct CG

before you fly.

Balance Point as indicated in each diagram.

Christen Eagle

Note: For the best flight performance of the Christen

Eagle, a high center of gravity is important. Following

the manual shown in Step 32 which shows the

location of battery.

LONGITUDE BALANCE

As 3D planes do a lot of hovering so it is very

important to do longitude balance to make hovering

much more stable.  Try to create a small hole after the

motor and on the thrust line.  Get music wire or string

then thread the wire through the hole. Make sure that

model hangs perfectly vertical as illustration.  If not

then try to adjust the location of battery, receiver or

ESC to get good longitude balance.

CONGRATULATIONS

Your done, may you have many successful flights filled

with fun and lots of 3D maneuvers.

Thank you for purchasing this 3D Profile EP from

Thunder Tiger and we look forward to providing you

with other great R/C products in the near future.
