3.9 in. 100mm
The ideal C.G. position is 100mm (3.9in.) behind the leading
edge measured at where the wing meets the fuselage. In
order to obtain the C.G. specified, add weight to the fuselage
or move the battery position. Check the C.G. before flying.
If you are converting this model to electric, please move the
C.G. forward 10% of current C.G. distance from leading edge
to compensate for weight of fuel.

Important Safety Precautions
# First time flyer should never fly by himself / herself. Assistance from experienced
f l y e r i s a b s o l u t e l y n e c e s s a r y.
# Pre-flight adjustment must be done before flying, it is very dangerous to fly a badly
pre-adjusted aircraft.
# RAMBLER-45 is specially designed to be powered by 2C 0.40-0.46 / 4C 0.60-0.72
engine, using a more powerful engine does not mean better performance. In fact,
over powered engine may cause severe damage and injuries.
# Make sure the air field is spacious, never fly the plane too close to people and never
g e t t o o c l o s e t o a r u n n i n g p r o p e l l e r.
# If you find wrinkles on the covering as a result of weather changes, you can use hot
iron to remove the wrinkles. Please begin with lower temperature setting and
