The following items are required to complete assembly:

#2 Phillips screwdriver (HCAR1024)

Long-nose pliers (HCAR0625)

Hobby knife (HCAR0109)

3mm Hex wrench (for prop)

Carefully remove the various components from the package.
Be sure to inspect all pieces to verify that there is no damage.

Refer to your charger’s manual for proper charging
information for the motor batteries.

You will need to refer to the radio system manual for proper
charging information for the receiver and transmitter.
Generally transmitter and receiver batteries are shipped
with a partial or “residual” charge. This will probably be
enough of a charge to set-up your airplane, but you will need
to give them a full charge before attempting to fly (usually an
overnight charge).

This would be a good time to charge the motor batteries as
well as the NiCd battery packs that power your transmitter
and receiver (the radio system).

While the batteries are charging, feel free to continue to
Assemble the Fuse.

1. Insert the main landing gear wires into the holes in the

landing gear blocks in the bottom of the fuse as shown.
Secure the gear with the two supplied nylon straps and four
2.5 x 10mm screws.

2. Locate the 8mm x 109mm and 8mm x 103mm dowel

rods. Insert them through the fuselage as shown with the
longer of the two toward the front of the plane. When
satisfied with their fit and placement, use CA to secure them
in place.

3. Locate the four plastic dowel rod caps and place them

on the ends of the dowel rods that you just installed. Secure
each of them with a 2.3mm x 10mm self-tapping washer
head screw.
