TOOLS AND SUPPLIES REQUIRED
INSTALLING THE MOTOR PLATE
❑
1)
Using 220 grit sandpaper, carefully sand any
paint from the area that the motor plate will be glued.
❑
2)
Mix a small quantity of Kwik Bond 5 Minute
Epoxy and apply a thin layer to one side of the plywood
plate. Set the plate into place, aligning the edges of the
plate with the top and the bottom of the fuselage. Re-
move any excess epoxy using a paper towel and rubbing
alcohol, and hold the plate firmly in place until the epoxy
sets up. See photo # 21 below.

INSTALLING THE SERVOS
❑
3) Using a modeling knife, cut out four pieces of
double-sided tape the same size as the two foam spacers.
☛
The servos are installed on the back of the fuselage
with the servo output shafts facing down and toward the
outside. Make sure you make both a right and a left.

6)
Using a ruler and a pencil, measure down 11/16"
from the fuselage mold line and draw a line parallel to it.
See photo # 23 below.

☛
Note that there is no camouflage painted on the bot-
tom of the airplane.
❑
4)
Working with one servo for now, stick one piece
of double-sided tape onto one side of the servo.
❑
5)
Stick one foam spacer onto the double-sided tape
that is on the servo, then stick the second piece of double-
sided tape onto the foam spacer. See photo # 22 below.
❑
7)
Remove the protective backing from the double-
sided tape and carefully stick the servo assembly firmly
into place. The center of the servo output shaft should be
lined up with the line you drew and the bottom of the
servo should be pushed up against the edge of the motor
plate. See photo # 24 below.

❑
8)
Repeat steps # 4 through # 7 to install the second
servo onto the other side of the fuselage.
❑
9)
Attach one servo extension to each servo lead.
Slide the two extension leads through the precut hole in
the fuselage and into the radio bay. Push the servo wires
down into the precut slots in the motor plate.
