Note
: Check that the screws used to secure the motor to the motor mount are not too
long as they may otherwise foul the internal motor mechanism. You may find it
necessary to countersink the mounting screws slightly, to achieve clearance with the
propeller yoke/spinner assembly.

Battery Mount.
The pre-cut battery mounting board is bonded into the fuselage opening about 100mm from
the nose. Prepare both surfaces and bond into place with suitably thickened epoxy resin –
forming a neat bead over the joint. The flight battery itself is secured to the mount using good
quality Velcro tape. Use one piece of each (hook & loop) under the battery to secure it fore
and aft and other in the form of a strap to secure it firmly to the battery mount.
Note:
The position of the flight battery within the fuselage will significantly influence the
balance point. Make sure that you can achieve the recommended centre of gravity with the
flight pack installed.
Note
: Ensure that the flight pack is both adequately secured and readily accessible for
installation and removal at the flying site.

Fuselage Support Former.
Assemble the fuselage support former from the three U-shaped formers, glued together with
Beech pins for additional strength. The completed assembly fits into the fuselage opening
just below the wing saddle - at a position 500mm from the nose. Prepare the surfaces to be
bonded and dry fit the assembly and bond into place with suitably thickened epoxy only once
the servo mounting tray has been installed.
