2. Temporarily tape together the end of the three motor
wires from the ESC (electronic speed control). Feed the wires
up through the hole in the bottom of the fuselage and out
the hole in the bottom of the fi rewall–this may require a little
fi nagling by holding the fuselage vertically or using a toothpick
or something similar to coax the wires out through the hole.

3. Remove the tape from the ESC wires and connect the
motor to the ESC. It doesn’t matter which way the wires go
for now because it’s just a guess anyway—we’ll make sure
the wires are properly connected later.

4. Place the ESC in the fuselage by guiding it up into the
hole in the bottom. From the top of the fuselage, pull the ESC
wire that goes to the receiver up and over the landing gear
mount into the radio compartment and pull the battery wire
into the battery compartment.
