Removing the Fuselage Hatch

Some of the assembly that follows may require that you
remove the hatch on the top of the fuselage. The following
explains removing it.

1. The front of the hatch has two pins and the back has

three magnets. These magnets match with the magnets in
the fuselage.

2. Slide your fi ngernails under the hatch on both sides of

the fuselage and lift the hatch.

Proceed to “Mount the Glow Engine” if you will not be
installing the electric motor.

Mount the Electric Motor

1. Use a large, fl at-blade screwdriver to “knock out” the air

inlet in the fi rewall for the electric motor mount installation.

2. Mount the plywood electric motor mount to the front of

the fuselage with four 8-32 x 3/4" [19mm] socket head cap
screws, #8 lock washers and #8 fl at washers. Be sure to use
a few drops of threadlocker on the threads of each screw.
