❑ 3) Place your fingers on the masking tape and care-

fully lift the airplane. If the nose of the airplane falls,

the airplane is nose heavy. To correct this, move the

flight battery back just far enough to bring the airplane

into balance. If the tail of the airplane falls, the airplane

is tail heavy. To correct this, move the flight battery

forward only enough to bring the airplane into balance.

When balanced correctly, the airplane should sit level or

slightly nose down when you lift it up with your fingers.

☛

Once you have flown and become familiar with the

flight characteristics of the Omega 636, the balance point

(C.G.) can be moved fore or aft up to 1/4" in each direc-

tion to change the flight performance. Moving the balance

point back will cause the airplane to be more responsive,

but less stable. Moving the balance point forward will

cause the airplane to be more stable, but less responsive.

Do not fly the Omega 636 beyond the recommended

balance range or an uncontrollable crash could result!

CONTROL THROWS

❑ 1) We recommend setting up the Omega 636 using

the control throws listed above. These control throws are

suggested for initial test flying.

❑ 2) After you have become familiar with the flying

characteristics of the Omega 636, you may want to in-

crease the control throws to the settings listed below.

TEST FLYING

Elevator: 3/8 up 3/8 down

Ailerons: 3/8 up 3/8 down

❑ 3) For the elevator, you can increase or decrease

the amount of control throw by moving the clevis in or

out from the center of the servo horn. Moving the clevis

out will increase the control throw. Moving the clevis in

will decrease the control throw. For the ailerons you can

do the same by moving the clevis closer or farther away

from the wing. Moving the clevis away from the wing

will decrease the control throw. Moving the clevis to-

ward the wing will increase the control throw.

If you are using a computer radio with the Omega 636,

please see the next section for our recommended setup.

IF YOU'RE USING A COMPUTER RADIO....

If you are using a four or more channel computer radio

with the Omega 636 it presents you with a new and better

way to set up your airplane for superior performance. If

you're not familiar with your radio system, we highly sug-

gest you read and understand the operating instructions

that were provided with it, especially those sections that

detail mixing and differential settings.

RECOMMENDED SETUP

Elevator: 1/2 up 1/2 down

Ailerons: 1/2 up 1/4 down

(2:1 Differential)

Spoilerons: Both ailerons up 1/16"

Flaperons: Both ailerons down 3/16"

Center of Gravity: 2-7/8" back from the

leading edge at the fuselage sides.

Aileron Differential:

Aileron differential corrects for adverse yaw while

decreasing the overall drag from aileron control surface

deflection.

Spoilerons:

By moving both ailerons up at the same time, the

overall drag of the wing is reduced, therefore the airplane

flies faster. Spoilerons should be used if you are flying

on a slope in high lift or if you want to try some high-

speed runs. Remember, spoilerons do decrease the lift of

the wing, so they're not good to use for thermalling.

Flaperons:

By moving both ailerons down at the same time, the

overall drag and lift of the wing is increased. This slows

down the landing speed and increases the rate of descent.

We don't recommend too much flaperon deflection be-

cause this will cause the aileron effectiveness to decrease.

The Omega 636 is a gentle flyer; however, it is de-

signed for more experienced fliers, so we don't recommend

it for beginners.

To hand-launch the Omega 636, gently grasp the fu-

selage between your thumb and forefinger at the C.G.

location. Hold the airplane above shoulder level and turn

on the motor to full power. With the motor running at full

power, firmly toss the Omega 636 straight ahead and level.
