2. Wrap the receiver and battery pack in the

FINAL ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING THE SPINNER
. Install the spinner back-plate, propeller and
spinner cone. The spinner cone is held in place
using two 3mm x 20mm wood screws.
. The propeller should not touch any part of the
spinner cone. If it dose, use a sharp modeling
knife and carefully trim away the spinner cone
where the propeller comes in contact with it.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH
1. The switch should be mounted on the fuselage
side, opposite the muffler, close enough to the
receiver so the lead will reach. Use the face
plate of the switch cut out and locate the
mounting holes.
2. Cut out the switch hole using a modeling knife.
Use a 2mm drill bit and drill out the two
mounting holes through the fuselage side.
3. Secure the switch in place using the two
machine screws provided with the radio
system.
INSTALLING THE RECEIVER AND BATTERY
1. Plug the servo leads and the switch lead into
the receiver. You may want to plug an aileron
extension into the receiver to make plugging in
the aileron servo lead easier when you are
installing the wing. Plug the battery pack lead
into the switch.

MOUNTING THE COWL
1. Remove the muffler and needle valve assembly
from the engine. Slide the fiberglass cowl over
the engine.
2. Measure and mark the locations to be cut out
for engine head clearance, needle valve,
muffler. Remove the cowl and make these cut
outs using a rotary tool with a cutting disc and a
rotary sanding drum attachment.
3. Slide the cowl back into place. Align the front of
the cowl with the crankshaft of the engine. The
front of the cowl should be positioned so the
crankshaft is in the middle of the precut
opening. Hold the cowl firmly in place using
several pieces of masking tape.
4. While holding the cowl firmly in position, drill
four 1,6mm pilot holes through both the cowl
and the side edges of the firewall.
5.
Using a 3mm drill bit, enlarge the four holes in
the cowling.
Enlarging the holes through the cowl will prevent
the fiberglass from splitting when the mounting
screws are installed.
6. Slide the cowl back over the engine and secure
it in place using four 3mm x 12mm wood
screws.
7. Install the muffler. Connect the fuel and
pressure lines to the carburator, muffler and
fuel filler valve. Tighten the screws completely.
