6. Install a black nylon snap keeper onto the pushrod
at the control horn.
❏
7. Install the rudder and elevator pushrods in the same way
as the ailerons. Use the 5" [127 mm] prebent pushrod for the
rudder and the 2-3/4" [70 mm] prebent pushrod for the elevator.

1. Connect the output wires of your ESC to the motor.
Check that the motor operates in the proper direction prior
to installing it.
❏
2. Install the ESC as shown using a small section of hook
and loop tape. Place the hard “hook” side in the provided
cutout in the fuselage and the softer “loop” side on the back
of the ESC. If your ESC has a BEC switch, install it in the
provided cutout. For some electronic speed controls, it may
be necessary to trim the foam slightly to allow for wire
clearance and switch mounting.

3. Slide the gearbox onto the square wood stick in the
nose. Secure it with the supplied #2 x 3/8" [9.5 mm] screw.
❏
4. Install the prop saver onto the gearbox output shaft.
The screws should seat down into the flat spots on the shaft.
Add a drop of thread-lock and be sure the screws are
tightened to prevent them from backing out during operation.
Note: The prop saver has two different diameters. Match the
size of your prop hub to the prop saver before installing the
prop to the gearbox. Attach the prop using the supplied
black O-ring.
