7. Glue in the fi n with the same glue used for the stab–do 

not clog the receiver antenna tube that comes out of the 
fuselage by the left side of the fi n. View the fi n from behind 
the model to make sure it is vertical.

Set Up the Pushrods. Install the

Battery & Receiver

❏ 

1. Connect an aileron servo extension wire to the receiver 

so you will be able to connect the aileron servo when 
mounting the wing. Guide the receiver antenna up through 
the antenna tube. If it’s diffi cult to get the antenna up through 
the tube, a few drops of household oil added to the antenna 
will help. 

❏ 

2. Connect the rudder and elevator servos and the ESC 

to the receiver. Turn on the transmitter. With the propeller 
removed,
 connect a charged motor battery to the ESC and 
operate the controls to make sure the servos and ESC are 
connected to the receiver correctly. 

❏ 

3. Use the included hook-and-loop material (or optional 

double-sided foam mounting tape–not included) to mount 
the receiver where desired. The location shown is preferable 
because all the wires can easily reach and the receiver will 
be raised off the cabin fl oor, making it less likely to get wet if 
any water leaks in. 

❏ 

4. Mount the motor battery as far forward as possible in 

the fuselage with one strip of the included hook-and-loop 
material on the battery and the opposing strip in the bottom 
of the fuselage.

❏ 

5. Install the elevator pushrod wire into the middle hole of 

the elevator control horn. Secure it with the nylon Faslink. 

❏ 

6. With the system “on,” center the elevator and tighten 

the retaining screw on the screw-lock pushrod connector 
with a drop of threadlocker.

❏ 

7. Connect the rudder pushrod the same way–don’t forget 

to use threadlocker on the retaining screw in the screw-lock 
pushrod connector and don’t forget to install the screw that 
holds on the servo arm.

❏ 

8. Operate the controls on the transmitter to make sure the 

elevator, rudder and motor respond in the correct direction.
