Reassembly
OPTIONAL: Connect two 300mm/12” servo extensions to the programming leads and route
them into the receiver compartment for easier ESC programming/updating without
removing the motor nacelle assembly in the future.
1. From the battery compartment, gently pull on the battery connector to help move the
ESC back into the fuselage.
2. Look under the nacelle assembly to make sure the motor wires are located in the
channels and fit the assembly back to the fuselage.
3. Secure the assembly to the fuselage with the 6 screws.
