Use hook and loop tape to mount the speed control to the
fuselage. Connect the leads from the motor and speed
control and secure them using tie wraps so they don’t
interfere with the operation of the motor. Guide the leads
for the battery and receiver through the tray. Connect the
servo lead from the speed control to the throttle port of
the receiver.
Î
A tie wrap is also recommended to
prevent the speed control from moving.

Remove the battery tray from the fuselage using a #1
Phillips screwdriver. Secure the receiver battery in the
area below the battery tray.
Î
We highly recommend using a receiver battery when
retracts are installed to reduce the load on the motor battery.

Mount the switch for the receiver in the fuselage. Secure
the connection between the switch and receiver battery.
Connect the switch to the receiver.
152.
Mount the battery in the fuselage using hook and loop
straps and hook and loop tape.
Î
Do not cover safety warnings on the
battery with hook and loop tape.
148.
Apply hook and loop tape to the battery tray. Place two
hook and loop straps through the openings in the battery
tray.
Î
Apply a small amount of 5-minute epoxy to the straps
to secure them to the battery tray. This will prevent them
from falling through the holes when the battery is removed.
GAS ENGINE INSTALLATION
Î
Skip to the section Cowling Installation if
you have installed an electric power system.
Î
This section covers the installation of the
recommended engine. Using a different engine may
require changes not covered in this manual.
153.
Place the mounting template on the fuselage. Use low-
tack tape to keep the template held tightly in position
during drilling. Use a 5/64-inch (2mm) drill bit to drill
the holes into the fuselage necessary to mount your
particular motor choice.
Î
Make sure to verify the holes in the template
align with the holes required for mounting your
particular motor before drilling any holes.
149.
Install the battery tray back in the fuselage using the
hardware previously removed.
150.
Attach the motor to the motor box using the hardware
provided with the motor.
