FINISH THE MODEL
❏
1. In order to minimize the number of servo extensions
needed, the most suitable place to install the receiver is
just behind the wing tube. Connect the ESC and servos to
your receiver and use a piece of double-sided foam tape to
secure the receiver in place. If you are installing a standard
FM or PCM receiver, extend the receiver antenna and route
it out the cool air exit hole on the underside of the fuselage.
The antenna can simply be taped down the length of the
bottom of the fuse. If you are installing a 2.4GHz receiver
as shown, tape the antennas to the side of the fuselage 90
degrees in relation to each other (see your radio system
manual for details).

2. The cowl does not require any work to install. The pre-
glued cowl ring and magnets are properly positioned inside
the cowl for the correct fi t. Simply set the cowl in place onto
the fi rewall. All the necessary cooling holes have been pre-
cut as well. Two small pieces of clear tape will assure that the
cowl will not shift in fl ight.
❏
3. If you have installed the recommended motor, you will
need to drill or ream the propeller and spinner backplate to
5/16" [7.9mm]. Install the spinner backplate onto the prop
adapter followed by the prop, prop washer, and prop nut.
Install the spinner cone using the included screws.

4. Finish the assembly by fi tting the canopy hatch in
place. It is held on magnetically so batteries can be quickly
changed without the use of screws.
Apply the decals
1. Use scissors or a sharp hobby knife to cut the decals from
the sheet.
2. Be certain the model is clean and free from oily fi ngerprints
and dust. Prepare a dishpan or small bucket with a mixture
of liquid dish soap and warm water—about one teaspoon of
soap per gallon of water. Submerse the decal in the soap and
water and peel off the paper backing. Note: Even though the
decals have a “sticky-back” and are not the water transfer
type, submersing them in soap & water allows accurate
positioning and reduces air bubbles underneath.
3. Position decal on the model where desired. Holding the decal
down, use a paper towel to wipe most of the water away.
4. Use a piece of soft balsa or something similar to squeegee
remaining water from under the decal. Apply the rest of the
decals the same way.
