7. Make a strap out of the remaining hook and loop
material for the flight packs. We have included adhesive-
backed hook and loop material for added security for the
packs. However, you will want to check your C.G. position
(after the model is complete) before adhering the material to
the battery tray. The C.G. position can be changed by
moving the flight packs forward or aft inside the fuselage.
When satisfied with the battery position by confirming the
C.G., we suggest gluing the hook and loop strap to the
battery tray to prevent it from falling inside the fuselage
when changing flight packs.

Install the Radio System (Glow Engine)

1. Make up two hook and loop straps for your receiver
and receiver battery pack by overlapping the ends together
as shown.
2. Feed the receiver antenna through the antenna tube
installed in the fuselage. Temporarily remove the left elevator
servo from the fuselage to expose the aft end of the antenna
tube. Use needle nose pliers to pull the rest of the antenna
when you get it far enough in to come out of the aft end of
the antenna tube. Guide the antenna wire into the cavity in
the rear of the fuselage.
3. Wrap the receiver and receiver battery pack with foam
rubber (not included). Use the hook and loop straps you
made to secure them in the fuselage in the location shown.
Confirm that your aileron Y-harness is long enough for the
ends to reach through the sides of the fuselage to connect
to the aileron servo extensions. If not, you may need to
install additional 6" [152mm] servo extensions onto the
harness. If you have a computerized radio and will not be
using a Y-harness, 6" [152mm] servo extensions will be
needed for the aileron channels on your receiver.
4. Attach your receiver switch and charge jack receptacle
(not included) to the side of the fuselage across from the
throttle servo.
