Thrust Tube Installation

Required Parts

Assembled airframe
Thrust tube

Clear tape

Fan access hatch

Required Tools and Adhesives

Scissors

1. Carefully roll or fold the thrust tube into the

shape shown below. It is made of Lexan and

will not be harmed by doing so.

2. Slide the thrust tube into the fuselage, with the

wider end of the tube entering the fuselage from

the rear. It will “pop” open when it has been

inserted fully into the fuselage.

3. Position the thrust tube so it overlaps onto the

fan assembly. It will also fit flush with the end of the

fuselage when positioned correctly. Use the clear

tape supplied with your aircraft to tape the thrust

tube to the fan housing.

4. Use clear tape at the bottom and both sides

of the thrust tube to secure the tube at the rear

of the fuselage.

5. Cut four pieces of clear tape using scissors and

tape the fan access hatch to the fuselage.
