3. Cut a piece of the included adhesive backed Velcro to 

fi t your receiver and place it on the bottom of the receiver. 
Peel off the remaining backing paper and place the receiver 
into the fuselage. Connect the battery to the switch harness, 
making sure to secure the connection with heat shrink tubing, 
tape or some other method to keep the connection secure. 
Plug the servos into the receiver following the instructions for 
your brand of radio. Be sure to route your receiver antenna 
as specifi ed in the instructions with your radio system.

❏ 

4. Now is a good time to turn on the radio and adjust 

the ser vo linkages for the control sur faces and the 
throttle connection.

Finishing Touches

❏ 

1. Install the spinner and prop for your engine or motor 

system.

Apply the Decals

❏ 

1. Use scissors or a sharp hobby knife to cut the decals 

from the sheet.

❏ 

2. Be certain the model is clean and free from oily 

fi ngerprints and dust. Prepare a dishpan or small bucket 
with a mixture of liquid dish soap and warm water—about one 
teaspoon of soap per gallon of water. Submerse the decal 
in the soap and water and peel off the paper backing. 

Note:

 

Even though the decals have a “sticky-back” and are not the 
water transfer type, submersing them in soap & water allows 
accurate positioning and reduces air bubbles underneath.

❏ 

3. Position decal on the model where desired. Holding the 

decal down, use a paper towel to wipe most of the water away.

❏ 

4. Use a piece of soft balsa or something similar to 

squeegee remaining water from under the decal. Apply the 
rest of the decals the same way.

IMPORTANT: Before experimenting with different battery 
combinations and connecting multiple battery packs with 
adapter plugs, refer to the Battery Precautions below.

GET THE MODEL READY TO FLY

Install & Connect the Motor Battery

Before you can power the radio system and set up the controls, 
the motor batteries will need to be charged.  

IMPORTANT:

 

If using multiple battery packs that are connected with an 
adapter, never charge the batteries together through the 
adapter. Always charge each battery pack separately. Charge 
the batteries, then read the following precautions on how to 
connect multiple packs for fl ying the model:

Battery Precautions

There are two ways to connect multiple battery packs: In 

Series

 and in 

Parallel

.

These are two 3200mAh batteries (one 11.1V
and the other 7.4V). When joined in 

SERIES

,

the result will be a 18.5V, 3200 mAh battery.

It’s okay to connect batteries with different voltages in
series to achieve the new, desired voltage.

This is a 

SERIES

 battery

adapter (GPMM3143)
that connects two
batteries in series.

11.1V (3-Cell)
3200mAh

OKAY

7.4V (2-Cell)
3200mAh

1. Connecting batteries in 

“Series”

 means to connect the +’s 

to the –’s and the –’s to the +’s. This combines the battery’s 

Voltages, but the capacity remains the same.
