1. Using two 3 x 8mm machine screws and two #4
flat washers, secure the
motor
to the fuselage with the
plywood reinforcement plate by sliding the motor into
the opening in the front of the fuselage. Align the screw
holes in the motor with the hole in the firewall and
reinforcement plate. Use a drop of thread-locker on
each screw.

1. Attach the
folding propeller blades
to the
hub
by
pressing the two 2 x 10 mm pins through the holes.
❏
2. The
spinner
is held to the hub with two #2 x 1/2"
[13 mm] screws. Use the 3 x 3mm set screw to attach the
propeller assembly to the motor shaft. Be sure that the set
screw is tightened against the flat cutout on the motor shaft.

1. Loosen the hook and loop straps you installed
earlier and slide the battery pack into position. Small
pieces of the included self-adhesive hook and loop
material attached to the underside of the pack will
prevent it from sliding back and forth during flight and
allow you to alter its position for balancing the model.
With the self-adhesive hook and loop material attached
to the front end of the battery pack, you will be able to
remove and replace it without taking off the wing.
❏
2. Install the receiver with hook and loop material in
the open area in front of the battery pack. Run the
antenna down the inside and out the back of the
fuselage. In the example shown above, we drilled a
small hole at the aft end of the fuse and used some
flexible wire to fish the antenna through the hole. A
strain relief made from a leftover servo arm was then
installed to prevent the antenna from pulling back into
the fuselage.
