First, write down the C.G. and throws, then throw away the manual.

Yup it's that bad.


You selected one of the more complicated models to build, and as you've discovered the manual is of no help.

Given your description there doesn't seem to be anything wrong, but you are unfamiliar with this type of ARF.

See if you can get help from a more experienced builder.

Re: Hatch

This is typical. Simply file away material if needed and adjust. Try to avoid this whenever possible, but be away that you will have to do it from time to time.. Better that there be too much material ( which can be removed ) versus too little.

You'll also find that the servo holes may be a little small and you'll have to file away a bit of wood to make things fit.
