8. Connect your speed control to the motor and receiver.
Mount the speed control to the bottom of the right horizontal
fuselage with double-sided foam tape. Cut a small hole for the
ESC’s battery wire to cross to the right side of the fuselage.
❏
9. Install the “hook” side of the included hook-and-loop
material to the left side of the fuselage where shown. This is
where you will mount the battery.
Use the following instructions if you are installing a firewall-
mounted motor system (usually brushless motors).
❏
1. Cut the horizontal and vertical fuselage doublers
from their foam sheets.
❏
2. Glue the vertical fuselage doublers into position first,
then glue the horizontal fuselage doublers into position.
❏
3. Use a 220-grit bar sander to lightly sand the front of
the fuselage even. Be careful not to change the built-in
thrust angles.
❏
4. If installing an ElectriFly RimFire motor, glue the
included 3mm [1/8"] plywood firewall to the nose so that the
two pilot holes are centered on the horizontal fuselage, and
the top hole is centered on the fuselage tube. Note: If
installing another brand of outrunner motor, you will need to
cut your own firewall to match its mount pattern. The motor
and firewall should be mounted so that the thrust line is
offset 9mm [11/32"] below the center of the fuselage tube.
