8. Attach strips of adhesive-backed hook material to the

cross members of the battery tray. The adhesive backed loop
material can be attached to the back of the battery. This will
prevent the battery from sliding forward and aft.

9. Overlap by 1" [25mm] two strips of non adhesive

backed hook and loop material. Route the hook and loop
material under the battery tray. Place your flight battery on
the tray and wrap the hook and loop material around the
battery. Trim off the excess material.

Install the Cowl

1. If you have installed the recommended RimFire .32

brushless motor, the cowl louvers will need a 1-3/4" [38mm]
to 1-7/8" [48mm] diameter cutout in the center.

2. Center the cowl louvers in the front of the cowl. While

applying upward pressure on the louvers, wick thin CA along
the joint between the cowl and louvers.

3. Check the fit of the cowl on the fuselage. The cowl is held

on with four magnets. It slides over the fuselage and snaps
into place. Trim the cowl louvers as necessary to prevent them
from rubbing on the motor when the cowl is installed.
