14. Mix up a small batch of epoxy (6-minute is fi ne) and
apply a thin coating in the dashed areas shown here. This
will provide a smooth surface for the self-adhesive hook and
loop material. Allow the epoxy to completely cure before
moving on.
❏
15. Connect the tail surface servos and a 6" servo extension
(for the spoiler servo) to the appropriate channels on your
receiver. Because this model doesn’t have ailerons, we
recommend connecting the rudder servo to the aileron
channel on the receiver. Use some of the included self-
adhesive hook and loop material to attach the receiver in
the fuselage. We taped the receiver antennas to the sides
of the fuselage.
❏
16. Make a battery strap from the non-adhesive hook and
loop strap by overlapping two mating pieces by approximately
1" [25mm]. Be sure the strap will be long enough to wrap
through the slots in the battery tray and around your battery.
Apply the hook side from the self-adhesive hook and loop
material to the battery tray.
❏
17. Feed the ESC motor leads underneath the battery tray
up to the motor. Connect the motor leads to the motor and
the ESC to the receiver. There is no need to secure the ESC
down. It will stay in place beneath the battery tray. Route the
battery connector up through the cutout in the battery tray.
❏
18. Now is a good time to test the operation of the motor
without
the propeller attached. If you are using a Tactic or
Futaba transmitter, you will need to move the servo reversing
to the REVERSE position for your throttle channel. With the
throttle stick in the lowest position, turn on your transmitter
and plug in the fl ight battery to the ESC. Move the throttle
stick to full throttle. The ESC will beep twice confi rming the
full throttle position. Lower the throttle stick and the ESC will
beep 4 times. The ESC is now armed. Advance the throttle
and check the rotation of the motor. When looking at the
motor from the front, it should rotate COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
If rotating the wrong direction, swap any two of the three
motor lead connectors.
