7. Glue in the fi n with the same glue used for the stab–do
not clog the receiver antenna tube that comes out of the
fuselage by the left side of the fi n. View the fi n from behind
the model to make sure it is vertical.
Set Up the Pushrods. Install the
Battery & Receiver
❏
1. Connect an aileron servo extension wire to the receiver
so you will be able to connect the aileron servo when
mounting the wing. Guide the receiver antenna up through
the antenna tube. If it’s diffi cult to get the antenna up through
the tube, a few drops of household oil added to the antenna
will help.
❏
2. Connect the rudder and elevator servos and the ESC
to the receiver. Turn on the transmitter. With the propeller
removed, connect a charged motor battery to the ESC and
operate the controls to make sure the servos and ESC are
connected to the receiver correctly.
❏
3. Use the included hook-and-loop material (or optional
double-sided foam mounting tape–not included) to mount
the receiver where desired. The location shown is preferable
because all the wires can easily reach and the receiver will
be raised off the cabin fl oor, making it less likely to get wet if
any water leaks in.
❏
4. Mount the motor battery as far forward as possible in
the fuselage with one strip of the included hook-and-loop
material on the battery and the opposing strip in the bottom
of the fuselage.
❏
5. Install the elevator pushrod wire into the middle hole of
the elevator control horn. Secure it with the nylon Faslink.
❏
6. With the system “on,” center the elevator and tighten
the retaining screw on the screw-lock pushrod connector
with a drop of threadlocker.
❏
7. Connect the rudder pushrod the same way–don’t forget
to use threadlocker on the retaining screw in the screw-lock
pushrod connector and don’t forget to install the screw that
holds on the servo arm.
❏
8. Operate the controls on the transmitter to make sure the
elevator, rudder and motor respond in the correct direction.
