NOTES
1
Dims mm. FS = station aft of nose tip (FS 0).
2
Balance pod OFF at FS 455 ±5; ballast in part 1.
Pod CG sits at FS 455, so boost CG barely moves.
3
Hand-glide first. E12-4 only; weigh ≤482 g.
4
Club launch under the NAR safety code;
launch rail within 30° of vertical.
5
No metal nose, body or fins. Payload inert.
6
Tx: elevon mix; BOOST mode adds up-trim.
