If your remote control does not allow this movement,
you will have to adjust your linkage connector.
16. Decoration
For decoration, a multi-color decoration sheet 2 is
enclosed. The individual words and symbols are cut out
and applied either according to our suggestion (picture
on the construction kit) or according to your own ideas.
Blacken the canopy 5 to its edge using a water-proof
felt tip pen.
17. Finding the center of gravity
In order to achieve stable flying characteristics, your
EasyStar must balance at one particular point, just like
any other aircraft. Set up your model so that it is ready
to fly and insert the fight battery .
The center of gravity is marked and then adjusted
to approx. 5mm in front of the rear edge of the spar
cover. This adjustment is equivalent to approx. 78
mm behind the front edge of the wing if measured
at the fuselage. If it is supported at this point by your
fingers, the model should balance horizontally.
Corrections are possible by shifting the fight battery .
Once the correct position is found, make a mark inside
the fuselage so that the battery can always be located
in the same position. Fig. 22

18. Preparation for the first flight
Wait for a calm day for the first flight. Often the evening
hours are particularly favourable.
Before the first flight, do a radio range check!
A range check will confirm that your radio system is
working properly. Transmitter batteries and flight
batteries must be freshly charged up and in accordance
with the instructions. Check before switching on the
transmitter, that the channel to be used is available and
not being used by another modeler. .
A helper walks away with the transmitter with the
antenna completely pushed down.

While the helper is walking away, activate a control
function. Observe the servo motors. The non-activated
servo motor should remain still up to a distance of
approx. 35 m or 100 feet and the controlled one must
follow the control movements without delay. This test
can only be carried out successfully when the radio
channel is free of interference. This test must be
repeated while the motor is running. This should lead
to no more than a minor reduction in the reach.
If you are in any doubt, do not fly the aircraft. Have the
system checked by a knowledgable modeler or a radio
service facility. Hand the entire system (with drive
battery, switch cable, servo motors) to the service
department of the manufacturer of these appliances for
checking.
Do not attempt to launch your Easy Star without the
motor running !
The model is launched with a gentle toss into the wind.
During the first flight it is best to have the support
of an experienced helper.
This is the most important advice in this entire instruction
manual. If at all possible have an experienced R/C pilot
put the first flight on your new model. They will trim your
Easy Star so that it will fly "hands off" allowing you to
learn to fly with a stable, controllable airplane. If this is
not possible, double check to make sure all your controls
function correctly and in the proper direction. While
holding the model with the wings level at shoulder height,
turn on the motor to full power and gently toss the plane
into the wind. Your model should climb out and directly
away from you at a shallow angle with the wings level.
Resist the urge to "over control" the model with large
control stick movements, After a safe height has been
5mm
reached, adjust the rudder and the elevator with the
trims on your transmitter, so that the model flies straight
and wings level.
At a sufficient height, familiarise yourself with the
reaction of the model when the motor is switched off .
Simulate landing approaches at high altitude, so that
you are prepared when the drive battery runs low.
At the beginning, do not try any forced turns close to
the ground in during the landing procedure.
Land safely. It is better to walk some distance to retrieve
your plane than to risk crashing the model.
19. Safety
Safety is the most important rule during flying aircraft
models. It is suggested you obtain liability insurance
through the Modeling Association in your Country. If
you join a club or association you will be able to join an
insurance program there. Take care to be adequately
insured (for model aircraft with motor).
Always maintain the model and remote control in good
working condition. Find out about the charging
technology available for the batteries you use. Make
use of all the sensible safety equipment that you are
offered. Get information from our main catalogue;
