Step 1
Mark the location for the switch harness on the lower right
side of the fuselage. Make sure the switch is in the radio
compartment area of the fuselage and will allow the radio
hatch to close without hitting the switch.
Step 2
Using a sharp hobby knife, cut out the balsa sheeting to allow
the switch to move freely. Once satisfied with the fit, mount the
switch with the screws provided with the switch.
Step 3
Wrap the receiver and receiver battery in foam and secure them
in the radio compartment. Connect the elevator, rudder and
throttle servos to the receiver as well as the switch harness.
Step 4
Drill a hole in the bottom of the fuselage and route the receiver
antenna down the bottom of the fuselage. Secure the antenna to
the fuselage with clear plastic tape.
Step 5
Connect four 12" servo extensions (JRPA098) to the receiver
for the aileron and flap servos. Mark each extension with
the appropriate receiver channel. Make cutouts in the radio
hatch for the extensions and charging leads to exit the radio
compartment. Secure the hatch in place with the #2 wood
screws provided.
