ASSEMBLE THE AIRPLANE
❏
1. Attach a 6" [152mm] servo extension to the ESC receiver
lead. Secure the extension with tape or heatshrink tubing (not
included).
❏
2. Route the motor wires and ESC lead along the underside
of the fuselage and through the hole into the radio compartment.
Trace around the servo extension connector as it fits in the wire
channel. Cut away the foam inside your traced lines so that the
connector sits flush inside the channel. A small piece of double-
sided tape (not included) will hold it in place.
❏
3. Coat the wing saddle on the fuselage with 30-minute epoxy. Insert the aileron servo wires through the hole in the fuse and
into the radio compartment. Place the wing onto the saddle by fitting the alignment keys on the top of the wing into the mating
cutouts in the wing saddle. Tape the wing to the fuse while the epoxy cures or place a weight on the top of the fuse (recommended)
to press it against the wing (prop the plane up between the aileron control horns so it doesn’t damage the aileron hinges). If using
tape, avoid damaging the paint by first lining the outside of the model with sheets of paper or something similar. Wrap the tape
tightly around the paper instead of directly onto the model.
❏
4. The vertical fin and horizontal stabilizer are keyed to fit together and it is recommended that they be glued in place at
the same time. Coat with epoxy the key on the bottom of the fin, the slot in the horizontal stabilizer, and the stab saddle on the
fuselage. Do not put epoxy on the front of the fin that fits into the ducted fan access hatch. The hatch must remain removable.
