10) Flip the main wing on its back and connect the Aileron Servo to the Aileron cable. Flip the wing right side up and install the wing to the fuselage. Secure the wing to the fuselage by tightening the nylon screw to the fuselage. Verify the wiring is not interfering with the servos by moving all the control surfaces using the transmitter.
11) Underneath the Main Wing are labels marking the center of gravity locations. Place your fingers under the center lines and lift the aircraft. With a full fuel tank, the plane should be a little nose heavy. With an empty tank, the aircraft should balance on the center line.
12) Set the Glow Heat settings to 1 on the Power Panel. Connect the glow plug starter to the glow plug on the motor by pushing down and twisting clockwise to lock the starter in place. Be careful that the glow plug cable is clear of the propeller path. To start the motor, adjust the Glow Heat settings between 4 to 5. Notice the amp meter should read around 2A to 2.5A. If the amp meter reads 0, the glow plug is bad.
12a) Note: To test if the glow plug is working or what glow heat settings to use, you can remove the glow plug from the engine and attach to the glow plug starter. Adjust the glow heat knob until the glow plug filament begins to glow. Use that glow heat setting as your starting point when starting the engine.
13) Set the throttle on the transmitter to about the ¼ position. Push the Motor Starter against the propeller with one hand while holding the fuselage with the other. Press the motor starter button to rotate the propeller until the motor runs on its own. Remove the glow plug starter from the motor.
