 4. After installing the struts to the fuselage turn the airplane 

upside-down. Align the struts on the wing making sure that 
the strut rests on the wood sheeting, not the open wing 
structure. Carefully drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole in the 

bottom

of the wing but 

do not drill through the top of the wing!

❏

 5. Insert and then remove a 2 x 10mm [3/8"] washer head 

screw into each of the holes. Apply a couple of drops of thin 
CA into each hole. After the glue has dried install the screws 
into the strut and wing.

❏

 6. Your kit comes with four plastic blisters. Two are extra 

and should be saved if the time should come that you need to 
gain access to the servos and removal of the original blisters 
makes them unusable. Apply a bead of RC 56 canopy glue 
around the entire opening of the fuselage. (We recommend 
this glue because it dries completely clear, is water resistant 
and after the glue has dried it is easily separated from the 
item it holds in place with a hobby knife or hobby putty knife.) 
Hold the blisters in place with masking tape until the glue has 
dried. Clean any excess glue from the fuselage with a damp 
cloth before the glue dries.

❏

 7. Install the prop adapters and propellers to the motor shaft.

❏

 8. Cut out and apply decals as shown on the box cover.

Install and Connect the Motor Battery

Before you can power the radio system and set up the 
controls, the motor batteries will need to be charged. Charge 
the batteries, and then read the following precautions on 
how to connect multiple packs for fl ying the model.

If you wish to use two smaller capacity 11.1V batteries, this 
is how to connect them:

These two 1500mAh batteries (both 11.1V) are
being joined in 

PARALLEL

. The result will be

one 

11.1V, 3000mAh

 battery.

This is a 

PARALLEL

 battery

adapter (GPMM3142) that
connects two batteries in series.

11.1V (3-Cell)
GPMP0613

OKAY

11.1V (3-Cell)

Connecting batteries in “

Parallel

” means to connect the +’s 

to the +’s and the –’s to the –’s. This combines the batteries’ 
capacities, but the voltage remains the same.
