❑
Using a modeling knife, carefully cut a groove in the foam
in the right fuselage half to extend the small premolded groove
up to the cockpit area. Also, extend the groove backward and
up through the top of the fuselage, 6-1/8" in front of the back
of the fuselage.
☞
The motor wires and elevator servo extension will lay in
this groove, keeping them out of the intake and exhaust ducts.
❑
Test-fit the EDF fan unit assembly into the right fuselage
half. The molded lip at the front of the fan shroud fits into the
molded groove in the fuselage half and the motor wires should
be pulled forward and laid in the groove, as shown.
IMPORTANT
The molded groove in the fuselage half is wider
than the flange on the EDF fan unit. Make sure that the front
of the flange is pushed against the front of the groove.
❑
Using a modeling knife, carefully cut a groove in the
inside of the right fuselage half, 2-1/2" behind the front of the
cockpit cutout, from the base of the cockpit area to the top of
the battery area in the bottom of the fuselage. The groove
should be deep enough for the battery wires you plan on
using to lay flush with the surface of the intake duct.
☞
The wires from your ESC to your flight battery will lay in
this groove, keeping them out of the intake duct.
❑
Test-fit the fuselage halves together with the EDF fan unit
assembly in place. They should fit together with few or no
gaps between the two, and the outside edges of each half
should line up evenly.
☞
If the fuselage halves don't fit together properly, carefully
remove any irregularities in the foam using 220 grit sandpaper
with a sanding block.
Step 2: Joining the Fuselage Halves
❑
Lay the servo extension wire into the molded groove, next to the motor wires and around the fan shroud, making sure
that the
female plug
comes out the top of the groove you cut in the back of the fuselage half. When properly positioned,
about 1" of the extension (including the female plug) should be above the top of the fuselage half.
