tem to run the motor. Looking at the motor, the
shaft should turn clockwise. If it does not turn
clockwise, reverse the motor polarity.

9. To reduce the chance of failure as well
as reducing the voltage loss from plugs, we rec-
ommend direct soldering the motor wires to the
speed control. However, if you need to use plugs,
Tamiya style plugs have been included in the
kit for your convenience.

10. Position the receiver and speed control
as shown. The speed control can be positioned
rearward if needed to prevent radio interfer-
ence. However, positioning the radio as shown
should help balance the aircraft without the need
for adding weight.

1. The Vertical Stabilizer is mounted on top
of the fuselage. Notice the flat area at the end
of the fuselage.

2. To align the stabilizer, draw a centerline
6 7/8" on the fuselage top. Use the foam mold
marks as a guide.

3. Test fit the stabilizer. It should be per-
pendicular to the wing (90 degrees). Lightly
sand the stabilizer mounting-surface if it does
not align properly.

4. Once satisfied with the fit, use epoxy to
glue the stabilizer to the fuselage (The same way
described for the wing.)

2. Trim the tabs as shown. Be sure to leave
a small area (Approx 2mm) around the tab to
act as a gluing surface.
