8)
Mount the ESC to the inside of the fuselage, right
behind the motor plate. Use a small piece of double-sided
tape to hold the ESC in place. See photo # 40 below.

INSTALLING THE FLIGHT BATTERY
☛
To reduce the possibility of radio interference, mount
the ESC as far away from the receiver as possible.
☛
The mounting location of the flight battery will de-
pend on which flight battery you decide to use.
❑
9)
If you are using the Wattage 6 or 7 cell 270Mah
NiCD flight battery, mount it on top of the fuselage using
a couple small pieces of Velcro®. See photo # 41 below.

☛
The location of the different flight batteries shown
above is only approximate. You may need to move the
flight battery fore or aft to balance the airplane when that
is done in the next section.
❑
10)
If you are using the Wattage 6 or 7 cell 650Mah
NiMH flight battery, mount it down in the hole in the front
of the fuselage using a couple small pieces of Velcro®.
See photo # 42 below.

INSTALLING THE PILOT FIGURE
❑
11)
Using a pair of scissors, carefully cut out each
of the two pilot figure decals along their outer edges.
Apply one decal to one side of the 37mm x 50mm sheet-
foam. See photo # 43 below.

❑
12) Using a sharp modeling knife, carefully trim the
sheet-foam along the outer edges of the decal. Apply the
second decal to the opposite side of the sheet-foam.
❑
13) Mount the pilot on top of the fuselage using a
narrow strip of double-sided tape. See photo # 44 below.

APPLYING THE DECALS
❑
14) Working with one decal at a time, use a pair of
scissors and carefully cut out the decal along its outer
edges.
❑
15) Remove the protective backing from the decal
and apply the decal to the airplane (use the box cover
photos to position the remaining decals). Lightly rub
the decal with a soft cloth to remove any trapped air from
beneath it.
☛
If any air bubbles form in the decal you can "prick"
the bubble with a straight pin to release the air.
❑
16) Repeat the steps above to apply the remaining
decals. Rub each decal down thoroughly to adhere it into
place.
☛
We strongly suggest cutting two 1/4" diameter air-
intake holes in the front of the plastic wing mount to allow
cool air to pass over the flight battery.
