10. While holding the windscreen in position, add a small 

drop of CA to one spot and apply a drop of CA accelerator 
with a T-pin or a small piece of wire. 

Install the Battery Plate

❏ 

1. Test fi t the plywood battery plate into the fuselage 

and apply a strip of adhesive-back Velcro (GPMQ4480, not 
included) to the top as shown.

❏ 

2. Make a battery strap from the hook & loop strips 

included with this kit. Use medium CA to glue the strap to the 
bottom of the battery plate.

❏ 

3. Apply the opposite side of Velcro to your battery–note 

that the Velcro strip on the battery is only about 3/8" [10mm] 
wide. It takes only a small amount of Velcro to keep the battery 
from shifting and if you use too much Velcro the battery will 
be too diffi cult to take out.

❏ 

4. Mount the battery plate in the fuselage with two #2 x 3/8" 

[10mm] fl at head screws. Mount the battery to the plate. 

❏ 

5. Test fi t the cockpit hatch to the fuselage to make sure it 

fi ts over the battery. Make any adjustments necessary.

Hint: When you get to the fl ying fi eld and are in the process 
of disconnecting the battery, it will be helpful to have a piece
