❑
Test-fit the nose cone onto the fuselage, making sure
it's centered and follows the contour of the fuselage.
☞
Notice that the nose cone and the front of the fuselage
are not round. Rotate the nose cone until it fits properly
without any distortion.

Step 1: Installing the Battery Tray
❑
Using a pair of scissors, cut out the battery tray along its
molded base, leaving 3/16" of material around the edge of
the tray to use as a gluing surface.
❑
Using 220 grit sandpaper with a sanding block, sand the
edges of the battery tray smooth and straight.
IMPORTANT
The inner surface of the nose cone should completely overlap onto the inside surface of the fuselage. This
will ensure that there is a smooth transition from the nose cone to the intake duct. There should not be a gap between the
back of the nose cone and the front of the intake duct.
❑
When satisfied with the alignment, lightly sand the inside edges of the nose cone so that the epoxy will adhere better.
❑
Mix a small quantity of 5 minute epoxy and apply a thin layer to only the gluing surfaces of the nose cone.
❑
Slide the nose cone back onto the fuselage and realign it. Remove any excess epoxy using a paper towel and rubbing
alcohol, and hold the nose cone in place until the epoxy sets up.
