5) Use a small screwdriver to remove the servo control arms
from the servos. Install the wire linkage "Z-bend" ends of the
control cables onto the servo control arms. Install the two control
cables into the two plastic tube ends in the servo compartment.
Run the cables through the tubes until they exit the fuselage at the
rear. Position the servo arms squarely to the servos and reinstall
them back onto the servos.

6) The main landing gear is now glued in place in the fuselage
using 5-minute epoxy. First check the fit by sliding the landing gear
in place into the two slots at the bottom, front of the fuselage.
Carefully slide the gear all the way up into place inside the
fuselage to get a feel for the fit.
Remove the gear from the
fuselage and use sandpaper to sand the wire, where it contacts the
fuselage sides. Apply 5-minute epoxy into each landing gear slot
on the inside of the fuselage - just enough to fill the slots. Once
again slide the landing gear wire in place into the fuselage.
Carefully wipe off any excess glue with alcohol and allow the glue
to set.

7) Fit the covered plywood landing gear spreader in place over
the wire landing gear legs and onto the bottom of the fuselage.
Trim as needed for a good fit. Remove the spreader and apply
5-minute epoxy to its bottom outside edges, where it contacts the
fuselage bottom. Also apply a little glue along the front edge of the
spreader where it butts against the bottom forward fuselage
sheeting. Press the spreader in place, wipe off any excess glue
with alcohol. Tape firmly and allow the glue to set.

8) Locate the pre-covered battery hatch from the kit contents.
This hatch has a plywood "lip" at one end, and two pre-drilled holes
at the other end. The end with the lip is the front. The hatch fits
into the bottom of the fuselage and is removable for ready access
to the battery pack.
Install the front lip of the hatch into the
fuselage, beneath the landing gear spreader, pressing it firmly up
to the back edge of the spreader. Now press the rear of the hatch
in place to the fuselage.
Hold the hatch in place and use your pin vise and a .046" dia. drill
bit (#56 numbered drill) to drill two holes through the hatch
retention block, directly beneath the two pre-drilled hatch holes.
The hatch can now be secured to the fuselage using the two
