Battery installation
Depending on your chosen lipo 4 cell or 5 cell
will depend on where it is placed for your
required C of G. But once established it is a
good idea to install a small strap and velcro
to eliminate the movement of the battery.
SWITCH INSTALLATION
Install your receiver switch in the pre-cut slot in the side of the fuselage
COWLING
Once all holes have been cut and you are happy that there is no interference install cowling with bolts and
washers.
CANOPY
Install canopy to the hatch with Weston canopy glue or the self tappers provided.
RX BATTERY INSTALLATION(IC VERSION)
The battery installation will vary depending on engine used and C.G position require. A good starting point is
just behind the tank but if you want extreme 3D then slowly move the battery pack back to achieve your flight
characteristics. You can also use the rx tray to mount the rx battery as well
RX INSTALLATION
The Rx should be installed in foam and with all leads secured. A rx tray is provided and can also be used for
the rx battery.
