❑
Repeat the previous procedures to install the second control horn and pushrod assembly on the other side of the wing.

The center-trim position of the ailerons described previously is a general position given to allow
installation of the pushrods. We will adjust them later to the correct center-trim position after the wing tip fences are
glued into place.
❑
Cut off the plugs from the motor wires on your ESC and carefully solder the motor wires directly to the motor. As
mentioned previously, you may want to remove the motor from the airplane to do this so you don't melt the foam.

Because the motor is mounted in a pusher configuration, you must solder the motor wires to the motor
in reverse. This means that you should solder the negative motor wire to the positive terminal and the positive motor
wire to the negative terminal. The positive terminal has a red dot next to it.
❑
Mount your ESC as far back in the molded radio bay as
possible, using a small piece of double-sided foam tape.
☞
If your ESC features an on/off switch like ours, you can
mount that to the edge of the molded radio bay using a small
piece of double-sided foam tape.

The ESC must be mounted as far back
as possible to allow room for the flight battery to be installed.
❑
Plug one servo lead into the aileron slot in your receiver and the other servo lead into the elevator slot, then plug the
ESC lead into the throttle slot.
❑
Mount the receiver up against the side of the molded
radio bay, using a small piece of double-sided foam tape.

So that the flight battery will fit properly,
you should mount your receiver on its side like we show.
❑
Make a small hole through the bottom of the wing, directly in front of the receiver, to run the receiver antenna out of.
Extend the antenna along the bottom of the wing, parallel to the leading edge, and secure it to the tip of the wing, using a
piece of clear tape.

Do not cut off the excess antenna. Let the excess hang past the wing tip. Double-check that the
antenna is secured firmly to the bottom of the wing, too. You don't want it to come loose during flight or it will fly back into
the propeller and be cut off. Doh!!
