Mount the Battery Hatch
1. Use a needle-nose pliers to open the two eye hooks.
2. Using a T-pin, make two small pilot holes in the base
of the battery hatch cover 3/8" [9.5mm] from the edge.
Screw the two eye hooks into the holes leaving enough
space to attach rubber bands to the eye hooks.
3. Tie two rubber bands, one on each side of the battery
tray. Making a hook from a paper clip will help in pulling the
rubber band through the tray.
4. Attach the rubber bands to the eye hooks on the base
of the battery hatch cover and install the cover on the
fuselage. Note that it fits only one way. The front is slightly
narrower than the aft end.
5. To make the battery strap, overlap the two pieces of
hook-and-loop material as shown.
6. Insert the hook-and-loop strap through the slot in one
side of the battery tray and bring it out the slot in the other
side of the tray. Adjust it so that the overlap is under the tray.
Install the battery in the battery compartment and secure it
with the hook-and-loop strap. Trim off the excess hook-and-
loop material.
7. To prevent the battery from sliding around, glue a piece
of hook-and-loop material to the battery tray between the
former. Glue a corresponding piece of hook-and-loop
material to the battery.
