At this time you will need to have chosen either

the Sport or High-Powered Ducted Fan Setup.

The installation of either Ducted Fan Assembly

is identical, but later sections of the manual will

be dedicated to either one setup or the other.

1. Locate the fuselage assembly and motor hatch.

2. Test fit the fan into the fuselage as shown. The

wires from the motor will fit into the channel inside

the fuselage. Press the fan into the fuselage so the

tabs on the fan assembly leave an indentation in

the foam inside the fuselage. If you find that the

fan unit will not fit flush after you have made the

indentions for the 3 tabs on the top of the fan unit

then use a hobby knife to enlarge the indentions

slightly. Make sure that the fan unit fits properly

inside the molded channel in the fuselage.

3. Remove the fan and connect the three motor

wires supplied with the model to the wires from the

motor. The colors may not match from the wires

supplied to the motor.

4. Insert the wires into the opening at the front of

the notch inside the fuselage. This will allow them

to exit into the battery/radio compartment of the

fuselage.
