Step 8: Component Board
Trim the edges and back of the component board so that you can easily fit it through the
canopy hatch.
A suggested layout of components is shown in photos 17 and 18. This arrangement allows
easy access to the receiver and servo wires, provides good separation between the turbine
and receiver electronics and sits low enough for the cockpit to easily fit on top.

Make sure to keep the area just in front of the forward former clear of wires and airlines for
retraction of the steering servo. The nose wheels will fit right up against the bottom of the
component board when retracted, so it is recommended you have nothing extending below
the board in this area.
Now is a good time to complete installation of all servo extensions, airlines and turbine
electronics through the fuselage.
Step 9: Engine and Pipe
Clean the fuselage thoroughly before installing the engine. If you need to trim the intake for
engine clearance, use a vacuum while you work. This will reduce the chance of having a foreign
object finding its way into your engine.
