❑
Drill a 5/64" hole through the center of the servo hatch
cover.
❑
Thread the end of the receiver antenna through the hole
and set the hatch cover into place.
❑
Use a couple of short pieces of Scotch
®
tape to hold the
hatch cover securely in place.
❑
Secure the antenna to the back of the fuselage using a piece of Scotch
®
tape.
Step 4: Installing the Flight Battery
❑
Mount the flight battery into the bottom of the belly pan
using a strip of Velcro
®
to hold it securely in place.
☛
Depending on the size and configuration of your flight
battery, you may need to enlarge the center bulkhead in the
belly pan to allow clearance.
IMPORTANT
In order to balance the airplane (in the next section) you may have to move the battery forward or aft. After you find the
optimum location, place marks on the belly pan and battery so you can install the battery in the same location every time.
❑
Making sure that there is no power to the motor, plug the flight battery into the ESC.
❑
Install the belly pan using the machine screws and flat washers provided.
Step 5: Installing the Propeller & Spinner
❑
Slide the spinner backplate and the propeller onto the
propeller shaft.
❑
Thread the machine screw and washer onto the front of
the shaft and tighten them against the propeller.
☛
Make sure when you install the propeller that its edges
are up against the two molded pins; otherwise, the spinner
cone will not line up properly with the backplate.
❑
Push the plastic spinner cone over the propeller and align it with the molded grooves in the backplate. Secure the
spinner cone in place using two 2mm x 10mm wood screws.
