2. Glue the tabs on the back of the mounting box into the

slots in the firewall, being sure that the mounting box back
piece is flush against the firewall. Glue the front plate to the
mounting box with CA. Using four 3 x 6mm machine screws
and four 3mm washers, attach the mounting adapter to the
front plate.

1. Trim the covering from the front lightening hole in the

cockpit area of the fuselage. Connect the servo leads to the
receiver. If you are using a 4-channel receiver, you will also
need a dual servo extension or Y-harness for the aileron
servos. Feed the motor leads on your ESC through the
center hole in the firewall. Connect the ESC to the motor and
to the receiver.

2. Brush on a small amount of epoxy onto the inside of

the fuselage sides just behind the wing LE. This will provide
a smooth surface to attach the ESC and receiver. When the
epoxy has cured, cut pieces of adhesive-backed hook and
loop material or double-sided servo tape (not included) to
secure the receiver and ESC at these locations.

3. Route the receiver antenna out of the vent hole and

down the underside of the fuselage. Use clear tape to hold
the antenna in place.

4. Make a battery strap 8" [203mm] long by overlapping

two pieces of hook and loop material and cutting it to length.
Feed the battery strap through the battery tray in the
location shown. Glue the battery strap to the battery tray to
keep it in place.
