FINISH THE MODEL
1. Pre-cut slots are provided on both sides of the fuselage
for an on/off switch. The slots may need to be enlarged
depending on what brand switch harness you are using.
2. Wrap your receiver and receiver battery in foam rubber
(not included). Connect the battery to the switch and the
servos and switch lead to the receiver (be sure to secure the
connection between the battery and the switch using tape or
heat shrink tubing). Stuff the components into the fuselage
and use scrap sticks of wood to hold them securely in place.
It is recommended to only tack glue the sticks in place at this
time as the components may need to be shifted forward or
aft when balancing the plane. When the exact position of the
radio components is confi rmed, be sure to thoroughly glue
the sticks in place.
