Install the Receiver and Battery

1. Plug the elevator and rudder servos into the receiver.You
will also probably need a 6" [152mm] servo extension wire for
the speed control. Install the receiver in the receiver
compartment with a short piece of the supplied hook and loop
mounting tape. The photo shows a Futaba R114F four channel
receiver. Note in the photo how the wires are routed. When the
wing is installed, the aileron servo wire will come down the
opening in the fuselage at the upper left of the photo.
2. Extend the receiver antenna to its full length and
route it to the tail skid. Use clear tape to hold it to the side of
the fuselage.
3. Install the hook and loop mounting tape for the battery
in the battery compartment. We used four short pieces of
hook material. On the battery, we mounted one long piece of
loop material. This allows the battery to be moved within the
battery compartment to help balance the model.

INSTALLING A KONTRONIK MOTOR
1. Trim the foam
fuselage as needed
to accommodate the
motor and wires from

2. Drill a 3rd hold to for a zip tie.
3. Install the motor using the supplied nylon tie straps.
Note: The tie straps may not hold the motor tight enough to
prevent it from twisting slightly at full power with the prop

of the motor where it touches the fuselage.
INSTALLING A MEGA CAN 16/15/3 BRUSHLESS MOTOR
1. Install your motor on the model with the included nylon
tie-wraps. The motor should be positioned just behind the
