7. Cut a strip of the rougher, hook side of the included
adhesive-back hook-and-loop strip to a length of 3-3/8"
[85mm] and apply to the top of the battery plate with CA glue.

8. Roughen the bottom of the fuselage in the area of
the battery plate. Then, use medium CA to glue the battery
plate into position so the aft edge will be approximately 1/2"
[13mm] from the former at the wing LE.

9. Determine whether you will shorten the wires on
your ESC, or leave the ESC wires as-is. The ESC may be
installed as supplied with the long motor wires, but removal
and installation of the battery will be easier without excess
wire in the way. Follow these instructions to shorten the
ESC wires:
A. Cut the motor wires to the desired length – about 1/2"
[13mm] is fi ne.
B. Strip approximately 1/8" [3mm] of the insulation from
the end of the wires and tin the exposed wire.
C. Cut and remove the shrink tubing from the bullet
connectors on the cut off ESC wires. Then, unsolder the
three bullets from the old wires.
D. Re-solder the bullets to the shortened wires on the ESC.
