9. When placing magnets, space them evenly
along the edges of the Fuselage Base piece.
Use more magnets at the front and rear, and remember to

 General Tips
1. All fuselage pieces need to be beveled at varying degrees for proper fit.
2. I recommend using UHU Creativ glue for joining fuselage pieces for flexibility.
3. Start with 1/2 inch up and down deflection on elevons and adjust to your flying style.
4. If possible, use exponential on radio mixing to soften control throws.
