8. To provide an exit for the cooling air, trim the covering
from the six holes in the bottom of the fuselage, behind the
wing saddle.

Apply the Decals

1. Use scissors or a sharp hobby knife to cut the decals from
the sheet.
2. Be certain the model is clean and free from oily fingerprints
and dust. Prepare a dishpan or small bucket with a mixture of
liquid dish soap and warm water-about one teaspoon of soap
per gallon of water. Submerse the decal in the soap and
water and peel off the paper backing. Note: Even though the
decals have a "sticky-back" and are not the water transfer
type, submersing them in soap and water allows accurate
positioning and reduces air bubbles underneath.
3. Position decal on the model where desired. Holding the
decal down, use a paper towel to wipe most of the water away.
4. Use a piece of soft balsa or something similar to
squeegee remaining water from under the decal. Apply the
rest of the decals the same way.
5. When applying the starburst decals to the stabilizer, fin
and wing, let the decal hang off the trailing edge slightly.
Then, use a sharp hobby knife to trim it flush with the trailing
edge. Also, on the wing we cut out each ray of the starburst
and applied them separate. Remember to trim the decal
along the hinge line so that the control surfaces are able to
move, but be careful not to cut the hinges.

Check the Control Directions

Warning: Once the motor battery is connected to the
electronic speed control, stay clear of the propeller.
1. Switch on the transmitter and connect the motor
battery to the electronic speed control. Move the throttle
stick down to the off position. Switch on the speed control
and center the trims. If necessary, remove the servo arms
from the servos and reposition them so they are centered.
Reinstall the screws that hold on the servo arms.
2. With the transmitter and receiver still on, check all the
control surfaces to see if they are centered. If necessary,
adjust the pushrods at the pushrod connectors to center the
control surfaces.

3. Make certain that the control surfaces respond in the
correct direction as shown in the diagram. If any of the
controls respond in the wrong direction, use the servo
reversing in the transmitter to reverse the servos connected
to those controls. Be certain the control surfaces have
remained centered. Adjust if necessary.
4. To operate or "arm" the motor, the throttle stick must be
in the down or off position when the speed control is
switched on. Then, move the throttle stick to full power for 5
seconds, then back down to off. The motor will now run
when the throttle stick is advanced. If it does not, the throttle
reversing switch may be set incorrectly. Disconnect the
motor battery, change the throttle reversing switch and retry
the throttle arming procedure. If the prop is turning the
wrong direction, no air blowing back towards the fuselage,
disconnect and switch the red and black wires between
motor and speed control.
