2. Install four magnets into the magnet holes in the
fuselage in the same manner as you did with the hatch. Be
sure to install the magnets with the polarity in the correct
direction! The magnets in the hatch must be attracted to the
magnets in the fuselage when installed. To avoid confusion,
put a magnet over each one that is glued in the hatch. Make
a mark on the magnet so you will know which side faces down
in relation to the battery hatch when gluing them into the
fuselage. Also, make note of each fuselage magnet and which
hole it will be glued into when marking it.
3. If you have installed a brushless motor, trim the covering
from the cooling hole exit behind the fuselage hatch. This will
also allow you to reach your finger through the exit hole and
pop the fuselage hatch open in order to remove and replace
your flight packs. If you have a glow engine installed, use a
small screwdriver to pry the hatch open when occasional
access to your radio equipment is needed.

Install the Radio System (Brushless Motor)

1. Make up two hook and loop straps for your receiver and
receiver battery pack by cutting the included hook and loop
material to length (use the size of your radio equipment as a
guide) and overlapping the ends together as shown.
2. In order to make room for the main flight packs, the
receiver and receiver battery must be installed on the top
side of the battery tray. You have some options to access the
top of the battery tray. For our model, we carefully trimmed
the covering 3/16" [4.8mm] outside the lightening hole
cutout as shown on three sides and peeled it back to expose
the top of the battery tray. You can also trim the covering
away from the lightening hole, then cover it up using a trim
sheet after the radio system is installed. Another option
would be to create a removable cockpit base (material not
included) that could be unscrewed to allow access to the
radio system should repair or replacement be necessary.
