1. If your radio system’s on/off switch has a hole through

the side, attach the exterior switch hardware as shown. The
battery box and receiver are held in place with #32 rubber
bands. Refer to your radio system’s instruction manual for
proper radio operation.

❏

2. The receiver antenna should be routed through the

small hole located at the rear of the radio compartment. The

easiest way to accomplish this task is to snake a piece of thin
wire through the hole first and then attach the antenna wire
to the thin wire. Now gently pull it through. Route the
antenna wire through the antenna tube. Insert the antenna
tube into the grommet, securing it into place.

3. See step 3, on page 5 and 6, of the “Transmitter

Assembly” section for proper carb and rudder linkage settings.
Setup the rudder so there is only 7mm [9/32"] of throw left
and 7mm [9/32”] of throw right.

4. Place the canopy/ hatch over the radio compartment and

secure it using five 2.5 x 8mm panhead self-tapping screws.

Before running the engine, read the instruction manual that
came with your engine.

Note: The needle valve settings listed in this manual are for
the AquaCraft Pro 46 engine included with the RTR Air Force.
If you purchased the ARR version, see your engine instruction
manual for the proper needle valve settings.

There are Several Simple Steps to Starting the Engine:

plug threads into the top of the cylinder head.
