g) Checking the center of gravity
First align both main rotor blades exactly along the longi-
tudinal direction of the model. The paddle rod of the
auxiliary motor will thus be brought into a 90° angle to the
tail tube.
Now lift up the helicopter on the paddle rod (1) in line with
the illustration. The model may be tilted neither to the front
nor to the back.
For better visualisation, the model was lifted with two pieces of round wood (2) on the photo. Alternatively,
you can also lift the helicopter using two fingers.
If the helicopter should hang down with the tail rotor, check whether the flight battery and/or the battery holder are in
the front position. If necessary, you can attach small weights on the tail tip.
If the helicopter tilts to the front, loosen the attachment screws of the battery holder (see ill. 8, pos. 3) on the left and
right and slightly slide it backwards. Once you have found the correct position, carefully tighten the screws again.
