2. Apply a thin coating of epoxy down the center of the
battery tray, behind the wing tube and to the underside of the
motor mounting box. The epoxy will improve the adhesion of
double-sided tape and self-adhesive hook and loop material.
Allow the epoxy to cure undisturbed.
❏
3. Connect a 6" [152mm] servo extension to the ESC.
Attach the ESC to the underside of the motor mounting box
with a piece of double-sided foam tape (not included). We
used a tie-strap to secure the motor leads safely out of the
way of the motor.
❏
4. Cut strips of self-adhesive from the hook side of
a package of self-adhesive hook and loop material (not
included) and apply them down the length of the battery tray
as shown. The loop side should be applied to the underside
of your battery pack.
❏
5. Make a strap from the included non-adhesive hook
and loop material by overlapping the mating ends by
approximately 1" [25mm]. The strap is used to hold the
battery onto the battery tray. Test fi t the battery onto the tray
and loop the strap underneath the tray, over the battery pack
and draw it tight. After following the balancing procedure, you
will know exactly where the battery will need to be placed on
the battery tray. It is suggested to make a mark on the tray
when you determine that location. Now would also be a good
time to confi rm that the motor will rotate the correct direction
by temporarily powering up the motor using the ESC and
your radio system (do not install a propeller yet!). If the
motor rotates the wrong direction (it should rotate counter-
clockwise when viewing it from the front), disconnect any two
of the three motor leads and swap their position.
