Final Assembly
Required Parts
Fuselage Canopy
Battery Battery hatch
Hook and loop tape
Hook and loop strap
Pilot (optional)
Required Tools and Adhesives
Canopy glue Low tack tape
Medium CA Waxed paper
 1. With the aircraft fully assembled, install the
battery into the battery compartment. Secure the
battery using the hook and loop tape and the hook
and loop straps.
Place a piece of hook and loop tape on the bottom
of the battery and on the fuselage where the
battery rests. This will keep the battery from shifting
forward or backward during extreme maneuvers.
 2. Use medium CA to glue the pilot (optional) to
the canopy hatch as shown.
 3. Place the canopy hatch on the fuselage. Make
sure to place a piece of waxed paper or part of a
bag from the packaging of your model between the
hatch and fuselage so when the canopy is glued
to the hatch it won’t accidentally be glued to the
fuselage. Make sure that the hatch is fully seated
on the fuselage, and the magnet in engaged during
this step. If it is not seated and engaged, it could
cause your hatch to fit improperly or not engage
once the canopy is glued on.
 4. Use canopy glue to secure the canopy to the
hatch. Use low-tack tape to keep the canopy in
opposition on the fuselage until the glue fully cures.
