2. Glue the doublers for the vertical fuselage into position first,

then glue the doublers for the horizontal fuselage into position.

3. Use a 220-grit sanding block to sand the front of

the fuselage smooth. 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 on the sides of the firewall 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 may
need to cut your own firewall to match its mount pattern. The
motor and firewall should be mounted so that the thrustline is
offset 9mm below the center of the fuselage tube.

5. Mount the motor to the firewall using the hardware

supplied with your motor.

6. Mount a propeller to the motor according to the

instructions that came with your motor.

7. Install your ESC in the same manner as outlined in

steps 7-8 of the stick-mount installation section starting on
page 16.

1. Attach the “loop” side of the hook-and-loop material to

the battery. Mount the battery to the fuselage.

2. Remove the propeller for safety while performing

bench setup. Once you have finished setting up your
airplane, you can reinstall it.

3. Set the throttle stick at its minimum position and turn

on the transmitter. Connect your battery to the ESC. If the
ESC has a BEC switch, turn it on.
