17. Remove the wheel pants from the axle and wick
some thin CA into the holes you just drilled. Permanently
install the wheel pants and wheels in place using two #4 x
3/8" [9.5mm] sheet metal screws for the wheel pants and
the previously mentioned two #8 washers and one 3/16"
[4.8mm] wheel collars for each wheel.
Finish the Radio Installation
1. Connect all servos and servo extensions to your receiver.
Also, connect the on/off switch to the receiver. Wrap the
receiver in 1/4" [6.4mm] RC foam. Use a nylon tie strap to
hold the receiver in place as shown.
2. Drill a small hole at the bottom of the fuselage and
route the receiver antenna to the rear of the airplane. Use a
rubber band to keep it stretched. Make sure you use a strain
relief inside the fuselage.
3. Wrap your receiver battery with foam and use another
nylon tie strap to secure it to the servo tray.
4. Install the receiver switch on the side of the airplane.
Make sure you do not install it in a place where it will
interfere with the wing. If you choose to install a rechargeable
jack, now is the time to do so. Make sure you use heat
shrink tubing or tape to secure all connections.
