11. Included in the kit is a small plywood plate to cover a

portion of the hole that the motor leads pass through. Place the
plate against the firewall and mark the location of the mounting
holes. Drill a 1/16

[1.6mm] hole through the mounting holes in

the plate. Secure the plate with three #2 x 3/8" [10mm] screws
and #2 flat washers.

12. Your batteries fit nicely on the tray just behind the

firewall. Cut the included hook and loop straps to fit around
the tray and your choice of batteries. The straps can be
inserted through the slots in the tray.

❏

13. We have included a secondary battery tray. Depending

on your choice of motor and batteries your airplane could be
slightly nose heavy. If this is the case install the secondary
battery tray as shown. It can be secured by drilling a 3/32"
[2.5mm] hole through each of the mounting holes and into the
plywood rails on each side of the fuselage. Secure the tray
with five #4 x 3/8" [10mm] screws. With this tray in place you
have a wide range of positions for installing the batteries and
adjusting the balance of your model without adding weight.

If you installed the Electric Motor skip ahead to INSTALL THE

COWL on page 25.
