6. Cut a 1" [25mm] strip from the supplied adhesive-
backed hook and loop material. Peel the backing paper off
and stick the loop side (fuzzy side) onto the back of your
ESC. Peel the backing paper off of the hook side and place
a few thin beads of thin foam-safe CA on the sticky backing.
Mount it in the plane in the location shown.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
Install the Wing Braces
For this section it is important that you set your model on a
fl at surface facing up. Hang the tail over the end of the table
or work with the model on an elevated box or sheet of thick
wood. Do not disturb the model until you have fi nished the
rigging process – doing so may result in a warped wing and
will affect the fl ying characteristics.
❏
1. With your plane on a level surface, install a 1 x 310mm
carbon rod through the hole in the center of the top wing. Run
it down to the hole at the base of the interplane strut on the
bottom wing. Install the other 1 x 310mm rod on the opposite
wing. Use a 90° square or the template in the back of this
manual to make sure that the fuselage is perpendicular to
the lower wing and that the wing struts are perpendicular
to the lower wing. When you’re satisfi ed that everything is
square, apply two drops of thin foam-safe CA to the ends of
each wing brace.

2. Install the 1 x 296mm carbon rods in the wings as
shown. Square the fuselage with the wing and glue the wing
braces in place.
❏
3. Locate the four 1 x 135mm outer wing braces. Two will
be used for the left wing and two for the right wing. With the
braces fi tted and the lower wing still fl at on the table, hold a
straightedged ruler against the top wing. Align the wings and
glue the braces in place.
