I have well over 20 of the Nitro Planes ARFs now.

The one you are looking at is one of their "Evergreen" models.

You can eyeball the C.G. by placing it between 25% to 30% from the LE against the fuse. Start around the 25% mark and work back.

As far as building it, it was my hope that you've put together plenty of ARF's so you wouldn't need the manual.

I'd suggest looking at the manuals for similiar planes if you need build tips and how to's.

Otherwise the planes are relatively straight forward.

I ALWAYS start with the engine and cowl, which makes it easier to manhandle the fuse as you work with it.

Hopefully you already know the cardboard trick, etc. to get the proper hole placements...

CA the holes you make in Fiberglass to prevent cracking and the fiberglass coming off after the fact.

Re-inforce the gear area whenever possible.

Change out the taiwheell...

Use good "soaking" technique on the hinges.

Harden all screw to wood areas with CA...

If there is sideways play on any control rod, try to limit it by making a small wooden rod guide to prevent this. Sideways play will turn into flutter at speed.


That's all that comes to mind at the moment.
