13.  Mount the LED lights into the body. 

A flashing red LED is mounted at 
the top of the body behind the 
main shaft and a 6-inch extension 
is plugged into it. A solid clear LED 
is mounted in the lower nose of the 
body. The other red solid LED will 
be mounted later in the manual. 
These can be glued in with contact 
cement or silicone. Tape the wires 
to the side of the body so they will 
not interfere with the mechanics of 
the heli. 

14.  Thread the wire tail skid into the 

tail rotor mount. Thread it in until 
all of the threads are completely in 
the housing.

 

15.  Use a 1.5mm hex driver to start the 

2mm (0.07-inch) setscrew into the 
bottom screw boss on the tail rotor 
mount. Do not thread this all the way 
in yet. 

16.  Mount the tail motor to the tail rotor 

mount using the 1mm x 3mm (0.03 
x 0.1-inch) machine screws, washers 
and a #0 Phillips screwdriver. 
Note that this motor is wired with 
reversed polarity due to the tail 
motor being on the opposite side of 
a conventional CP series helicopter. 
This motor must be used for the tail 
rotor to spin in the correct direction.

17.  Run the tail motor leads through 

the mount as shown. Also mount 
and run the rear RED solid LED. 
You will need a 6-inch and a 12-inch 
extension plugged 
together for the rear LED to reach 
the front of the body. Plug these 
in now also. Tape the motor leads 
and the LED leads together to aid in 
routing them through the tail section.

18.  Slide the tail motor leads and light 

wires, if used, through the opening in 
the rear tail section of the fuselage. 
Route them through the fuselage into 
the front section. 

19.  Slide the tail motor mount assembly 

into the tail section of the fuselage 
through the opening.
