Step 16
The second tray goes in the same as the first, but is
positioned to the front of the fuselage.
Step 17
Once both trays are in the fuselage, use a small amount
of 30-minute epoxy to glue the trays to the sides of the
fuselage. Make sure they are secure so the weight of the
battery does not cause them to come loose.
Step 18
The next step is to remove the backing from the hook and loop
material from the speed control and secure it to the battery
trays. This is tricky and will require patience to accomplish.
Step 19
Use the hook and loop straps to secure the motor battery
in the fuselage. If the battery slides forward or aft in the
fuselage, use a small piece of hook and loop tape between
the tray and battery to prevent it from doing so.
Step 20
Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to expose the two holes
for the fuselage hatch mounting screws.
