Installation
Required Parts
• Fuselage
Required Tools and Adhesives
• 1/8" light plywood • Velcro straps
• 6-minute epoxy
Step 1
Use foam and rubber bands (or Velcro® straps) to
secure the receiver to the battery tray.
Note: We have also mounted MatchBoxes
for the rudder and elevator servos next
to the receiver.
Step 2
If using the Zenoah® GT80, it will be necessary to
mount the battery pack slightly near the wing’s
trailing edge to properly balance the model. The
lighter weight Zenoah G62 requires that the battery
be mounted in the nose.
Step 3
Wrap the receiver battery in foam and use rubber
bands or Velcro straps to secure the battery to the
battery tray. Use 6-minute epoxy to attach the battery
tray in the fuselage in the correct location for your
engine selection.
Step 4
Assemble the tank per the instructions included with
the tank. Be sure to use the gas-compatible stopper
and fuel tubing.
Step 5
Place foam on the floor of the tank compartment.
Secure the tank in place by wrapping rubber bands
or Velcro straps around the tank and tank floor. Cup
hooks can be used to hook the rubber bands to the
tank floor. Later we will run the fuel lines.
Step 6
Mount the receiver switch in a convenient location in
the side of the fuselage.
