FINAL PREPARATIONS

Mount the Receiver and ESC

❏
1. Apply the remaining "hook" side of the included hook-
and-loop strip to the bottom of the fuselage in the radio
compartment in front of the servos. Connect a 6" [150mm]
servo extension in the aileron channel in your receiver (so
it will be easier to connect and disconnect the aileron servo
wire when installing/removing the wing). Connect the rest
of the servos and the ESC to the receiver and mount the
receiver and ESC in the bottom of the fuselage with the
other side of the hook-and-loop.
❏
2. Turn on the transmitter and receiver. Add a drop of
threadlocker to the 2mm screws in the screw-lock connectors
on the elevator and rudder servos and lock the pushrods
down making sure the elevator and rudder are centered.
❏
3. Connect the three motor wires coming out of the wing
to the three wires coming from the ESC and connect the
Y-connector for the ailerons coming from the wing to the
servo extension in the aileron channel in the receiver. Before
mounting the wing to the fuselage, turn on the transmitter
and connect the battery to the ESC. Run the motor briefl y to
make sure it is running in the correct direction—it should be
blowing air out the back. If the motor is turning the wrong way,
same as before when conducting initial test runs, swap any
two of the motor wires to get the motor running the right way.
❏
4. Place the wing on the fuselage making sure none of
the wires are pinched between the bottom of the wing and
the fuselage. Bolt the wing to the fuselage with the 35mm
Phillips sheet metal screw and the 3mm washer—do not
over-tighten the screw—just about 1 to 1-1/2 turns after the
bolt is seated on the collar.

Check the Control Directions

The instructions already guided you how to set up the
controls, but it is always a good idea to double-check that
the controls are responding in the correct direction once the
model is all together. With the wing mounted to the fuselage
turn on the transmitter, then connect the battery.
