• Place the battery in the model and check the
working systems. The battery must be fixed
securely, so that it cannot slip out of position
when the boat is running - tighten the Velcro
tape well. TIP: it is a good idea to attach a scrap
piece of Velcro tape (used to secure the RC
components) to the battery; this will help to
prevent it shifting.
• Glue the radio aerial on the left-hand side, close
to the bridge, using cyano (see also the overall
view of the finished model on the next page).

Maiden run
Charge up all the batteries and test the model’s working systems one by one. Check that all the parts
which are not permanently attached are firmly seated. Now you are ready for the boat’s maiden run. Keep
the boat’s speed low at first, and give yourself plenty of time to become familiar with its handling. The
model is fairly fast, and therefore needs to be operated on a large stretch of water. Don’t allow the boat to
get too far away from the bank.
We hope you have many hours of pleasure running your PT-109.
Note
The original PT-109 was fitted with three screws. For technical reasons the model features a twin-screw
power system driven by powerful SPEED 600 motors, as they provide better handling at speed.
