4. Remove the battery hatch from the fuselage. This is

accomplished by pushing the hatch forward and then

lifting the hatch up.

5. Install the battery in the fuselage using the 8-inch

(204mm) hook and loop straps.

6. Turn on the radio system and plug the battery into the

speed control. Use the throttle to check that the motor

rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the front. If

not, follow the directions included with your speed control

to change the direction of the motor rotation.

Important Information About Your Brushless ESC

Make sure your ESC brake is programmed to Off. Also,

be sure to use an ESC with the proper low-voltage cutoff

and it is set correctly for the batteries you are using.

Note: Never check the motor rotation on the bench

with the propeller installed. The plane could move and

cause serious injury. Always check the motor without the

propeller to avoid injury.

7. Cut and tape a piece of card stock on both sides of

the fuselage to indicate the front edge of the fuselage.
