Install the Wings
❏
1. Insert the wing joiner into one of the wing panels. Insert the aileron servo extension connector into the dual servo extension.
❏
4. Insert the other aileron servo extension into the dual servo extension. Use heat shrink tubing to secure the servo connections to the dual servo extension.
Apply the Decals
❏
1. 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.
❏
2. Position decal on the model where desired. Holding the decal down, use a paper towel to wipe most of the water away.
❏
3. 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.
❏
2. Slide the wing joiner with wing into the fuselage. Thread the aileron servo dual servo extension through the opening in the side of the fuselage. Repeat for the other wing panel.

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.
❏
3. Using the included black fi nger bolts, secure both wings to the fuselage.

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.
