7. Make a hole in the front of the fuselage to route the

battery plug and ESC control wire into the fuselage. Plug the

ESC into the receiver. Connect the three motor wires to the
ESC. See page 21, step 5 for hole location.

8. Cut three 1" [25.4mm] long pieces of hook material (the

rough material) and glue it to the battery tray using CA glue.

9. Glue a strip of loop material to the side of the motor battery.

10. Make a battery strap and secure the battery to the

battery tray. The receiver battery and switch will be installed
once everything else is installed and the C.G. is checked.

This will determine their location.

Proceed to step 2 of Install The Cowl (page 20).

Install the Engine

1. Side mount the nylon engine mount on the fi rewall with

four 6-32 x 1" [25.4mm] socket head cap screws, #6 fl at
washers and #6 lock washers. Position the engine between
the engine mount halves before tightening the cap screws.
Be sure to apply a drop of thread locker to the threads of the
cap screws. Note: The top of the engine mount has two lines
on it. Position the engine mount so that the center line on the
fi rewall is between the two lines on the engine mount.

2. Position the engine so that the front of the drive washer

is 4-3/8" [111mm] from the front of the fi rewall. Use the
engine mounting holes as a guide to drill 7/64 [2.7mm] pilot
holes in the nlyon engine mount. Use a 6-32 tap to thread
the holes in the nylon engine mount.
