...in a helicopter
...in an electric flying wing
In this foam flying wing, a slot was cut in the fuselage
side to hold the Infrared Calibration Button and its wire.
If you will be hand launching your aircraft, locate the
button where you won’t accidently bump it.
Drill a hole in the frame, then mount the Infrared Cali-
bration Button in the hole.
