3. Cut a piece of the included adhesive backed Velcro to
fi t your receiver and place it on the bottom of the receiver.
Peel off the remaining backing paper and place the receiver
into the fuselage. Connect the battery to the switch harness,
making sure to secure the connection with heat shrink tubing,
tape or some other method to keep the connection secure.
Plug the servos into the receiver following the instructions for
your brand of radio. Be sure to route your receiver antenna
as specifi ed in the instructions with your radio system.

4. Now is a good time to turn on the radio and adjust
the servo linkages for the control surfaces and the
throttle connection.

Finishing Touches

❏
1. Install the spinner and prop for your engine or motor
system.

Apply the Decals

❏
1. Use scissors or a sharp hobby knife to cut the decals
from the sheet.
❏
2. Be certain the model is clean and free from oily
fi ngerprints and dust. Prepare a dishpan or small bucket
with a mixture of liquid dish soap and warm water—about one
teaspoon of soap per gallon of water. Submerse the decal
in the soap and water and peel off the paper backing. Note:
Even though the decals have a "sticky-back" and are not the
water transfer type, submersing them in soap & water allows
accurate positioning and reduces air bubbles underneath.
❏
3. Position decal on the model where desired. Holding the
decal down, use a paper towel to wipe most of the water away.
❏
4. Use a piece of soft balsa or something similar to
squeegee remaining water from under the decal. Apply the
rest of the decals the same way.
IMPORTANT: Before experimenting with different battery
combinations and connecting multiple battery packs with
adapter plugs, refer to the Battery Precautions below.

Install & Connect the Motor Battery
Before you can power the radio system and set up the controls,
the motor batteries will need to be charged. IMPORTANT:
If using multiple battery packs that are connected with an
adapter, never charge the batteries together through the
adapter. Always charge each battery pack separately. Charge
the batteries, then read the following precautions on how to
connect multiple packs for fl ying the model:

Battery Precautions

There are two ways to connect multiple battery packs: In
Series and in Parallel.
These are two 3200mAh batteries (one 11.1V
and the other 7.4V). When joined in SERIES,
the result will be a 18.5V, 3200 mAh battery.

It's okay to connect batteries with different voltages in
series to achieve the new, desired voltage.
1. Connecting batteries in "Series" means to connect the +'s
to the –'s and the –'s to the +'s. This combines the battery's
Voltages, but the capacity remains the same.
