Afterburner Ring Installation (Sold Separately)
To add the optional Afterburner Ring.
An extension lead is already installed in the fuselage for the afterburner ring. The
end of the lead is taped under the vertical stabilizer mounting structure inside the
fuselage. It may be easier to locate and connect the lead by removing the EDF unit.
1. Remove the 2 screws (
A
) securing the vertical stabilizer (
B
) and remove the
vertical stabilizer.
2. Remove the 2 screws (
C
) holding the tailcone (
D
) and remove the cone.
3. Connect the afterburner connector to the preinstalled servo lead found under
the vertical stabilizer.
4. Apply contact cement (
E
) to the mating surface of the fuselage where the
afterburner ring (
F
) will fit.
5. Fit the ring to the fuselage.
6. Reinstall the tailcone and the vertical stabilizer.
7. Remove the battery hatch and locate the loose “LED” afterburner extension
plug, close to the receiver, and plug it into the other end of Y-Harness that is
plugged into channel 6.
The afterburner ring cannot be Y-Harnessed with the ESC (throttle channel). The
serial data stream will not allow the afterburner ring to operate correctly.
