- Page 8 Build preparation involves rounding off the corners of the large interior 'PDB hole' in the main frame plate. This is not absolutely necessary to fly your Speed Addict 210-R or 180-R, but it is highly recommended and standard practice among top builders and racers. Catalyst Machineworks carbon fiber plate parts are cut by state of the art CNC machines.

- Page 72 SECTION 6 LIPO INSTALLATION...
- Page 73 210-R or 180-R without HD camera, mount the lipo as far forward as possible. Check center of gravity after the lipo is installed and readjust as needed. If you are running the 210-R or 180-R with an HD camera it will be necessary to mount the Lipo farther back on the fuselage top plate to achieve proper center of gravity.
