1. Carefully roll or fold the thrust tube into the
shape shown below. It is made of Lexan and
will not be harmed by doing so.
2. Slide the thrust tube into the fuselage, with the
wider end of the tube entering the fuselage from
the rear. It will “pop” open when it has been
inserted fully into the fuselage.
3. Position the thrust tube so it overlaps onto the
fan assembly. It will also fit flush with the end of the
fuselage when positioned correctly. Use the clear
tape supplied with your aircraft to tape the thrust
tube to the fan housing.
4. Use clear tape at the bottom and both sides
of the thrust tube to secure the tube at the rear
of the fuselage.
5. Cut four pieces of clear tape using scissors and
tape the fan access hatch to the fuselage.
