❑
After installing the receiver, drill a 5/64" diameter hole through the
fuselage floor for the antenna to exit. Unwrap the receiver antenna and
feed it out through the hole.
❑
Using a modeling knife, carefully make an antenna mount out of
an extra servo horn. Remove one of the arms and cut it into the
shape shown.
❑
Use the modified servo arm and a rubber band to secure the end of
the antenna to the tail wheel wire.

Using a modeling knife, cut away and remove the covering material from over the six precut window mounting holes below the
wing saddle, in each side of the fuselage.
Before gluing the windows into place in the next procedure, you may want to paint the exposed edges of the window
cutouts, using black paint. This will clean up the appearance of the windows after they're glued into place.
PRO TIP
❑
Test-fit and glue each of the molded clear windows into place, using
a thin layer of Pacer Formula 560 Canopy Glue. Remove any excess
glue before it dries, using a paper towel soaked with
water
, and use
pieces of masking tape to hold the windows in place until the glue
fully cures.
STEP 3: INSTALLING YOUR ENGINE ACCESSORIES
❑
Install your muffler onto your engine, then cut to length and connect
the fuel lines to the carburetor and muffler pressure tap. Make sure that
the vent line goes to the pressure tap.
❑
Install your propeller, making sure to balance the propeller before
installing it.

The side windows are glued into place from inside the fuselage.
STEP 4: INSTALLING YOUR RECEIVER, BATTERY PACK AND SWITCH
We don't suggest permanently installing the receiver and battery until you have balanced the airplane. How the
airplane initially balances will determine where you need to mount the receiver and battery.
❑
Wrap the receiver and battery in foam rubber to protect them from vibration. Use masking tape or rubber bands to hold the foam
in place.
☞
Do not wrap the foam rubber too tightly or the vibration dampening quality will be reduced.
❑
After you've found the final location of the receiver and battery, mount them into the fuselage, using your favorite method. Strips
of Velcro
®
work well or sandwich them in place using a couple of scraps of balsa wood glued between the fuselage sides.
