❑
Test-fit the battery tray into the fuselage. The tray should
fit tightly and the lip around the edge of the tray should be
pushed down firmly against the fuselage.
☞
The battery tray is curved to match the contour of the
fuselage. It will fit properly only one way.
❑
When satisfied with the fit, remove the battery tray and use 220 grit sandpaper to roughen the gluing surfaces.
❑
Mix a small quantity of 5 minute epoxy and use it to glue the battery tray into place. Remove any excess epoxy using
a paper towel and rubbing alcohol, and hold the battery tray in place until the epoxy sets up.
Step 2: Installing the Flight Battery
❑
Set the flight battery into the battery tray and hold it
securely in place by twisting the battery tie-down strap tightly
around it. If the tie-down strap is too long, cut off the excess
using a pair of scissors.
☞
Depending on your flight battery's configuration, you may
need to either lay it on its back or on its side so that it does not
stick out of the battery tray.
Step 3: Installing the Battery Cover
❑
Using a pair of scissors, carefully cut out the battery cover
along its base. Make sure to completely remove the molded
radius so it will fit properly inside the battery tray.
☞
Do not throw away the scrap. It will be used later.
❑
Using 220 grit sandpaper with a sanding block, sand the
edges of the battery cover smooth and straight.
❑
Slide the front of the battery cover into the battery tray, making sure that the front of the battery cover is flush with the
battery tray.
☞
The front of the battery cover is taller than the back and is contoured to fit the front of the battery tray.
❑
Using a pencil, carefully mark the locations of the two brass pins onto the front of the battery cover.
