Use more magnets at the front and rear, and remember toavoid placing magnets where the CF spars are. My advice is tomount the magnets to the fuselage base piece before building the fuselathen press the fuselage base piece against the wing/base piece to make

General Tips1. All fuselage pieces need to be beveled at varying degrees for proper fit.

2. I recommend using UHU Creativ glue for joining fuselage pieces for flexibility.3. Start with 1/2 inch up and down deflection on elevons and adjust to your flying4. If possible, use exponential on radio mixing to soften control throws.5. Have fun! Any questions please email me at [email protected] or visit

6. CG measurement on 100% scale is 52cm along centerline from nose ti
