3. Attach the ESC to the inside wall of the fuselage as

shown using hook and loop material or double-sided tape.

4. Connect the motor leads to the ESC. Check for the proper

direction of rotation. If the motor operates in the wrong
direction, disconnect and swap any TWO motor leads.

1. Connect all servo leads and the ESC at this time. Attach

the receiver to the inside of the fuselage behind the main wing
using hook and loop material or double-sided tape as shown.

2. Place a small length of the “hook” (rough) side of hook

and loop material on the inside of the fuselage near the nose
of the aircraft as shown. The “loop” (soft) side of the hook and
loop material is attached to the battery. Do not connect the
battery to the ESC until ready to fly.

3. Drill two 1/16" [1.6mm] holes approximately 1/4" [6.4mm]

apart. Route the antenna from the receiver out of the bottom of
the airplane and “thread” it into the tail skid as shown.

1. Insert the pre-bent landing gear wire into the slot in

the fuselage. Locate the small gear retainer block and
press it into the slot with your thumb after the pre-bent
landing gear wire is in place as shown. Glue the block into
place with thin CA.

2. Trim the wheel pants along the cut lines to match the
