q

  Install the switch into the switch mount and use a scrap length of wire, 

attached to the switch and passed through the fuselage side, to turn the switch 
on and off. 

q

  After you've found the final location of the receiver and the battery, mount 

them into the fuselage using your favorite method. We mounted the receiver 

battery under the fuel tank and mounted the receiver to the fuselage floor in 

front of the servos.

q

  Make a receiver antenna wire mount out of an extra servo horn.

q

  Drill a 5/64" (2mm) hole through the bottom of the fuselage, then run the 

receiver antenna wire out along the bottom of the fuselage and secure it to the 
tail wheel wire, using a rubber band and the antenna mount that you made.

IMPORTANT

  This step details the installation of the receiver, battery and switch harness if you're using a glow engine. If you're 

using a brushless electric motor, please skip to steps 2 and 3 on page 36.

q

  Wrap the receiver and battery in foam rubber to protect them from vibration. Use a couple strips of masking tape or rubber bands to 

hold the foam rubber in place.  

+

 Do not wrap the foam rubber too tightly or the vibration dampening quality will be reduced.

IMPORTANT

  After tightening the two wing strut mounting screws in the wing, tighten the wing strut mounting screw in the fuselage.
