Section 9: Recommended Center of Gravity (CG)

An important part of preparing the aircraft for flight is
properly balancing the model. This is especially important
when various engines are mounted.
Caution: Do not inadvertently skip this step!

Step 1
The recommended Center of Gravity (CG) location
3
for the Pulse XT 60 is 3
leading edge of the wing against the fuselage. Mark the
location of the Center of Gravity on the top of the wing.
Note: The Center of Gravity can
also be measured at the wing tips
using the above measurements.

Step 2
When balancing a low-wing aircraft, it is best to balance it
inverted as shown in the drawing below.
Place your aircraft on a balancing stand, or lift the model
with your fingertips, at the marks made in the previous
step. The aircraft should rest level or slightly nose down
when balanced correctly. If necessary, move the battery
pack or add weight to either the nose or the tail until the
correct balance is achieved. Stick-on weights are available
at your local hobby store and work well for this purpose.
Note: The range for the Center of Gravity
3
is 3– 3 / inches (76mm–95mm). You can
4
change the Center of Gravity within this range
based on your personal flight preference.
