ASSEMBLE THE FUSELAGE
That completes the wing assembly. Set the wing aside and begin
the fuselage assembly.
ASSEMBLE THE FUSELAGE
❏
1.
Remove the battery hatch. This is held on by three small
magnets under the base of the canopy and a molded tab at the
front edge. To remove the hatch, pull up the rear of the hatch.
❏
2.
At the back of the fuselage you will see the opening for
the stabilizer. Look closely and you will see alignment notches
that help locate the stab position.
❏
3.
On the bottom of the stabilizer you will
fi
nd the raised
alignment keys. These match up with the alignment notches.
❏
4.
Slide the stabilizer into the opening in the fuselage. When
you install the stabilizer, slide the right side of the stabilizer into
the left side of the fuselage. Be sure to key the stab to the slots
in the fuselage. Position the stab so that it is centered and the
holes in the bottom of the fuselage are aligned with the holes
in the stabilizer.
❏
5.
Partially install the two foam plugs into the holes in the
bottom of the fuselage. When you do this be sure the painted
end of the plug is outside of the fuselage. These two plugs lock
the stab to the fuselage. Once they are installed, the tail cannot
be removed without risk of breaking them, so be sure you follow
these instructions carefully. You will notice that each of the plugs
has an end that is angled. When the plug is positioned properly
the angle will be in line with the bottom of the fuselage.
❏
6.
When you are satis
fi
ed that you have the plugs positioned
properly, insert them into the fuselage and through the stabilizer,
locking the stabilizer in place.
