 24. Drill the holes and secure the captive nuts in the back

of the firewall. A top tip to facilitate this is to use a length of
rod that the captive nut can be pushed onto. The rod can
then be used to press the nut against the back of the
firewall whilst threading the bolt from the front. With the nut
threaded on the bolt, pull the rod off the back of the captive
nut and screw the bolt in until the nut is fully seated into the
rear of the firewall. When happy, remove the bolt and repeat
the procedure for the other three nuts.

 25. Attach your motor to the firewall using the supplied

motor stand-offs and washers.

 26. Attach the undercarriage using the four saddle clamps

and eight screws. Note: The saddle clamp fixing holes have
been pre-marked under the covering. To find them, locate
the undercarriage centrally over the mounting plate and
their position will become evident.

 27. Glue together the parts for the battery and ESC tray,

as shown.

 28. Turn the fuselage upside-down and rest the battery

and ESC tray on top of the pre-installed locating pegs.
DO NOT GLUE YET.

NOTE:

Placing the tray on top of the pegs (fuselage

inverted) allows maximum room in the battery bay which, in
turn, will facilitate the use of a battery suitable in size to
achieve the recommended C of G. When the model is on its
wheels, access to the battery tray is via the removable
hatch located between the cabane struts.
