16) COOLING IS IMPORTANT!
With a fully-cowled motor, it is very important to make sure
your power system is getting proper cooling. Air flowing
into the front of the cowling must have a place to exit. In fact
it’s best to have more air exit area than inlet area to create a
positive air flow through the cowling - an actual suction
effect – drawing the heated air out so that more cool air can
come in. This positive flow keeps your motor running cool.
The EDGEtra cowling has two openings in the front to let air in,
and there is a generous sized opening in the bottom of the
fuselage to let the air exit. This should provide ample
cooling for your motor, ESC, battery.

17) Install your Receiver
Choose a suitable location to mount your receiver and
receiver’s antennas. There is plenty of room inside the
EDGEtra’s fuselage, but a good location is under the fiberglass
wing tube holder. This location offers an easy way to secure
the receiver using adhesive-backed Velcro® or a strap.

18) Install the Pilot and Canopy
a)
Attach the pilot figure to the floor of the battery hatch. The
lower rear edge of the pilot figure will touch the hatch hooks.
Roughen the bottom surface of the pilot, and use epoxy to glue
the figure in place.
b)
Before applying glue to the canopy, attach the hatch to the
fuselage. There are two locating pins at the front, and two
‘hooks’ at the rear. Slide the pins into the pin slots in the rear
side of the firewall, lower the rear end of the hatch onto the
fuselage, and allow the hooks to catch. Now slide the hatch
toward the rear of the fuselage, and the magnets will latch in
place. Test fit the canopy onto the top hatch to familiarize
yourself with how it fits. Then place a narrow bead of glue
around the outside edge of the canopy where it will contact
the hatch.
Note: We recommend a flexible RC-56 type glue, sometimes
called "canopy glue", for this job. You will also need to have on
hand some low tack tape (masking tape) to hold the canopy in
place, plus paper towels and water to wipe off any excess glue.
c)
Set the canopy back in place on the hatch, and tape it in place.
Let the glue dry according to the instructions on the glue bottle.
Clean up any excess glue before it dries, and be very careful not
to glue the hatch to the fuselage.

19) Install the Wings
a)
Slide the aluminum wing tube into the tube holder in the
fuselage.
b)
Slide a wing panel onto the aluminum wing tube. Make sure
that the aileron servo extension wire passes through the hole in
the side of the fuselage.
