Install the Receiver Battery

1. Secure the cabin to the fuselage with two 4-40 x 3/8"

[9.5mm] machine screws and #4 fl at washers.

2. Place a mark on the top of both wing halves 2-1/4"

[56mm] from the leading edge of the wing.

3. Turn the plane upside-down. Try balancing the plane on

your fi nger tips at the marks. If the plane is electric powered,
try moving the motor battery forward or aft to get it to balance.

4. If the plane is nose heavy, wrap the receiver battery in

R/C foam and secure it between the servos with a hook and

loop strap. If the plane is tail heavy, the receiver battery can
be mounted under the front of the battery tray.

5. Once the location of the receiver battery has been

determined, the receiver switch and charge jack can be
installed in the side of the fuselage.

Electric Options: Since the cabin will need to be removed
to connect the motor battery, the receiver switch and charge
jack could be installed inside the fuselage. Another option is a
voltage regulator (CSEM0005) could be installed, eliminating
the receiver battery. The voltage regulator connects between
the motor battery and receiver using the motor battery to
power the receiver.
