IMPORTANT The hatch cover is provided for electric fliers to access their LiPO motor battery. If you're using a glow engine in
your Magic V2 aircraft, we strongly suggest gluing the hatch cover securely to the fuselage. If you do decide to use the hatch cover,
please make sure not to mount anything directly to it (like your receiver or battery). It is not a structural part of the fuselage.

q Set the hatch cover into place and drill two 1/16" (1.6mm) diameter pilot
holes through the rear corners of the hatch cover. Position the pilot holes 1/8"
(3mm) in from the corners of the hatch cover.
IMPORTANT Apply a few drops of thin C/A into the pilot holes to
strengthen the surrounding wood. This will ensure that the wood screws
won't loosen over time.
q Secure the hatch cover into place, using two M2 x 6mm flange-head wood
screws.
q After you've found the final location of the receiver and battery, mount
them into the fuselage using your favorite method. The easiest method is
to simply sandwich them in place using pieces of foam rubber.
