❏
9. Install the “hook” side of the included hook-and-loop
material to the left side of the fuselage where shown. This is
where you will mount the battery.
Use the following instructions if you are installing a firewall-
mounted motor system (usually brushless motors).
❏
1. Glue the vertical fuselage doublers into position first,
then glue the horizontal fuselage doublers into position.
❏
2. Use a 220-grit bar sander to lightly sand the front of
the fuselage even. Be careful not to change the built-in
thrust angles.
❏
3. If installing an ElectriFly RimFire motor, glue the
included 3mm [1/8"] plywood firewall to the nose so that the
two pilot holes are centered on the horizontal fuselage, and
the top hole is centered on the fuselage tube. Note: If
installing another brand of outrunner motor, you will need to
cut your own firewall to match its mount pattern. The motor
and firewall should be mounted so that the thrust line is
offset 9mm [11/32"] below the center of the fuselage tube.
❏
5. Mount the motor and propeller using the hardware and
instructions that came with your motor.
❏
6. Install your ESC as instructed in step 8 of the “Mount
the Motor & Gearbox” section on page 16.
❏
1. Attach the “loop” side of the included hook-and-loop
material to the battery. Mount the battery to the fuselage.
❏
2. For safety, remove the propeller while performing
bench setup. Once you have finished setting up your
airplane, you can reinstall it.
