ALLEN
WRENCH

Align the spinner cone with the prop/backplate

and press pins firmly into the holes. One way to

do this is to have the cone pointing downward on

a table and press until all pins are seated.

Install the prop/spinner assembly on the motor

shaft and securely tighten the set screw with a

.050 Allen wrench.

Canopy and Battery Hatch

Find the holes on the side of the fuselage and

cut a “X” pattern in the covering over the holes.
You will find two holes on each side of the

fuselage.

Insert a dowel into the front and back hole till

equal amounts are showing on both sides of

the fuselage.
When satisfied glue the dowels in place.

Insert the battery hatch into the bottom of the

fuselage. The tongue on the hatch goes for-

ward.
In the rear of the hatch drill a 1/16” hole in the

middle.
Screw the hatch to the fuselage by using a #2

x 3/8” screw.

Remove the hatch from the fuselage and care-

fully cut out each of the air holes

Note: Reinforce the hatch with small sticks if

using 7 cell batteries

NOTE: The air holes let the battery cool for better

performance.

Slide the canopy under the cowl. The rear of

the canopy will sit on top of the wing with the

rubber bands holding the wing will also hold

the canopy.

Warning: A spinning propeller

can cause injury. Wear safety

glasses and operate away

from spectators.
