INSTALL THE MOTOR
❏
1. Install the motor to the motor mount using the included
#2 x 3/8" [9.5mm] self-tapping screws.
❏
2. Insert the landing gear through the landing gear support
and into the horizontal fuselage. Be careful not to push the
landing gear all the way through the horizontal fuselage. The
end should be fl ush with the top of the horizontal fuselage.
If it is diffi cult to insert both landing gear legs through the
landing gear support, use a hobby knife to enlarge the hole
slightly. Rotate the wheels so that they are parallel to each
other. Apply glue to the joint between the landing gear support
and the landing gear legs and the horizontal fuselage and the
landing gear legs.
❏
3. Place a small piece of loop (soft) side of the self
adhesive hook and loop material to the back of the ESC
and the receiver.
❏
4. Place a piece of hook (rough) material under the
fuselage, close to the front. Route the motor leads through
the fuselage and connect them to the motor. Attach the ESC
to the loop material.
❏
5. Connect the servos to the receiver so that the wires do
not interfere with any of the pushrods. Note that a hole has
been provided to route the rudder and aileron servo wires to
the bottom right side of the fuselage.
❏
6. Position the receiver on the side of the fuselage, under
the wing as far forward as possible. Make sure that the servo
wires do not interfere with the pushrods. Apply a piece of hook
material on the side of the fuselage, at the receiver location.
Attach the receiver to the fuselage. To prevent the wires from
interfering with the pushrods, use a small piece of tape to
attach them to the fuselage.
❏
7. Install the propeller on the motor following the motor
instructions. Hint: The rubber o-ring can be diffi cult to stretch
