BALANCING THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY<br />

An airplane's centre of gravity is designed to be in<br />

a certain relation to its lifting areas and the<br />

<strong>Skydreamer</strong> it is set up correctly on delivery.<br />

The margin at which the centre of gravity may<br />

move in relation to the ideal set up is very small.<br />

You can check the centre of gravity of the<br />

<strong>Skydreamer</strong> by holding it up at the points<br />

shown (140 mm from the rear edge of the wing)<br />

with two fingers. It should then slightly swing<br />

around the horizontal position and not be inclined<br />

to the front or rear.<br />

If the nose or tail sections have a tendency to tilt<br />

downwards, the weight is biased in this direction.<br />

Occasionally the centre of gravity of the aeroplane<br />

may have to be corrected e.g. after a repair, by the<br />

addition of small weights. These should be applied<br />

using double sided tape and should be equally<br />

balanced. A centre of gravity which is too far<br />

rearward (nose too light) will make flying difficult<br />

and needs to be corrected.<br />

CONNECTING THE FLIGHT BATTERY<br />

As a safety measure we recommend connecting<br />

interference. Never attempt to fly under<br />

the flight battery shortly before each flight as<br />

these circumstances.<br />

follows:<br />

- Put the cockpit cover on.<br />

- Make sure that the receiver switch is in the<br />

"OFF" position.<br />

- Make sure that no other model in the area is<br />

operating on your frequency.<br />

- Switch on the transmitter. The throttle stick<br />

has to be in the lowest position (throttle off)<br />

- Attach the battery connector to the flight<br />

controller connector and note the shape of<br />

the plug which will only fit in one direction.<br />

The flight controller's connector and battery<br />

connector should clip firmly together.<br />

- Keep clear of propeller rotation.<br />

- Re-attach the wing using rubber rings.<br />

- Raise the plane and switch on the receiver.<br />

The servo may give a short twitch without<br />

the stick being moved, this is not an<br />

indication of any interference.<br />

- Repeated and uncontrolled movements by<br />

the servo mean that the receiver is reacting<br />

to foreign (radio) signals. This may be as a<br />

result of weak transmitter batteries or strong<br />
