Complete the Radio Installation

1. Both sides of the fuselage have cut outs for the switch
harness and charging jack. Determine which side of the
fuselage you wish to mount the switch and charge jack
(optional). Cut the covering away from the openings and
install the switch harness and charge jack.
You now have to make a decision on where to position your
receiver battery. If you install the receiver battery in the location
in the next step, your airplane may be nose heavy. If you are
installing the electric power option you will be nose heavy. This
would be a good time to check the balance of your airplane
following the instructions on page 24. If your airplane is nose
heavy, you may wish to consider the optional mounting position
shown in step 2.

2. Insert the included Velcro strap through the slots in
the fuselage. Place a piece of R/C foam under the receiver
battery and secure it with the Velcro strap.
Optional Receiver Battery Installation Location
Locate the plywood receiver battery tray and the shaped
hardwood stick. Glue the angled face of the shaped stick to
the former just above the pushrod tubes. When the glue has
hardened place the battery tray on the servo rail and the
shaped stick. Drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole through the holes in the
tray, into the servo mounting rail and the shaped stick. Secure
the tray with four 5/64" x 3/8" [2 x 10mm] washer head wood
screws. Insert the included Velcro strap through the slots in
the tray. Place a piece of R/C foam under the receiver battery
and secure it with the Velcro strap.
