For initial flights we recommend you

balance the model on the 85mm mark to
make it more docile. Once you have flown
it a few times you can then move it back
slightly if you wish, this will make the flying
characteristics more agile.

Note:
This instruction manual shows the construction of the wooden airframe and
the installation of the RC equipment. Prior to complete assembly we
recommend that each component is covered separately first with the iron on
covering of your choice. So this is before all the control surfaces are finally
hinged, before the tail parts are glued in place etc etc. This will make the
covering very much easier and will also help with the final assembly.
