the ESC to the motor and route the receiver lead through
the hole in the fuselage former. A 6" [152mm] servo lead
extension is required. Be sure to use tape, heat shrink tubing
or a special clip made for securing servo lead extension
connectors together.

of epoxy to improve the adhesion of the self-adhesive hook
