q Set the canopy onto the cockpit deck and align it. When aligned properly,
the edges of the canopy should t into the recess around the perimeter of the
cockpit deck. It may be necessary to trim the edges of the canopy slightly for
a perfect t.
q When satised with the alignment, use pieces of masking tape to hold the
canopy rmly in place.
q Secure the canopy to the cockpit deck, using a thin layer of Formula 560
Canopy Glue and nine M2 x 10mm ange-head wood screws. Four wood
screws should be installed along the bottom edge of each side of the canopy
and one wood screw should be installed centred at the front of the canopy.
IMPORTANT Drill 1/16" (1.6mm) pilot holes through only the canopy for
the wood screws.
STEP 2: INSTALLING THE COCKPIT DECK
q Cut away the covering material from over the cockpit deck mounting holes
in the fuselage. One mounting hole is located in each side of the fuselage, 5/8"
(16mm) down from the top of the fuselage side and 1-3/8" (35mm) in front of
the back of the cockpit opening.
q Wrap your receiver and battery in foam rubber to protect them from vibration. Use rubber bands to hold the foam rubber in place.
+
Do not wrap the foam rubber too tightly or the vibration dampening quality will be reduced.
q After you've found the nal location of the receiver and battery, install them into the fuselage using your favorite method.
IMPORTANT We don't suggest permanently installing the receiver and battery until you have balanced the aircraft. How the aircraft
initially balances will determine where you need to install them.
q Mount the switch to the fuselage side and connect the battery lead to the switch, and the switch and servo leads to the receiver.
q Run the antenna wire out the bottom of the fuselage and secure it to the
tail wheel wire using a rubber band and an antenna mount made from an extra
servo horn.
IMPORTANT If you're using a 2.4GHz radio control system, refer to your
radio control system's User's Guide for information on antenna placement.

q Set the cockpit deck onto the fuselage and secure it into place, using two
M3 x 16mm machine screws and two M3 at washers.
IMPORTANT You may need to enlarge the holes in the fuselage sides
slightly to allow easier alignment of the machine screws with the blind nuts
in the cockpit deck.
