Route the ESC battery leads up so that they exit

forward of the fi rewall as shown. The battery on this model is
accessed by removing the cowl, so the ESC leads must be
routed to make this as easy as possible. Route the ESC motor
leads back and through the second former and connect them
to the motor wires. Mount the ESC in the location shown.

Cut a 2-3/4" [70mm] length strip from the adhesive-

backed hook and loop material provided. Separate the hook
side from the loop side. Cut the hook side down the middle to
make a narrow strip. Leave the loop side full-width, and stick
it to your battery. If you need more for spare battery packs,
please purchase Great Planes® Hook and Loop material
(GPMQ4480).

Stick the hook side to your battery tray as shown.

INSTALL THE ELEVATOR

& RUDDER SERVOS

1.

Use your radio to center two servos. With the servos

centered, reposition each standard servo arm so that one of
the two short arms is perpendicular to the servo case. Note:
The short arms measure 1/4" [6.4mm] from the center to the
outer hole. You will need one servo with an arm on the left
side
of the case and one with an arm on the right side of the
case. Clip off the remaining unused arms. Install the servo
arm retaining screws.

2.

Use a #55 [1.3mm] drill bit to enlarge the outer servo

arm holes. If you don’t have a #55 drill bit, use your hobby
knife to carefully enlarge the holes.

3.

Locate two screw-lock pushrod connectors, two 2mm

locking screws, and two plastic locking collars. Install these
on the rudder and elevator servos in the outer holes of the
short servo arms.
