TOW RELEASE INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: If you are installing the electric power option, skip this
section and see the optional electric power installation secton.
1. Install the tow release wire to the servo arm.
2. Install the tow release servo into the nose of the fuselage. Slide
the release wire through the small hole in the front of the cockpit.
Attach the arm to the servo, ensuring the wire fully opens at one end
of the servo travel and fully closes at the opposite end of travel.

RADIO INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: While the spoilers and retract will operate on 7.2V, for increased longevity and reliability, we recommend
regulating the power input of these components to 5.2V with the use of an inline voltage regulator, such as SPMVR5203.
If the retract is slow to operate or does not retract to the fully locked position at the regulated voltage, run the retract
directly to the receiver at 7.2V.
1. Carefully cut the rear of the cockpit floor in the area shown.
2. Connect the gear and spoiler channels from the receiver to the
input ports of the regulator.
3. Connect the output ports of the regulator to the gear lead and the
spoiler y-harness.
4. Route all servo leads from the tail to the forward fuselage, keeping
them as organized as possible. Use wire ties or hook and loop tape
to secure the leads in the fuselage.
5. Prepare six 18-inch servo leads; two for ailerons, two for flaps and
two for spoilers.
TIP: Use different colored tape wrapped around the ends of the
leads to differentiate which leads go to which control surface.
6. Connect all servo leads to the appropriate receiver ports.
7. Mount the receiver under the rear of the cockpit floor as shown. If
necessary, use small pieces of foam or hook and loop tape to hold
the receiver in place.
TIP: If desired, cut holes in the rear of the cockpit floor and route
the servo leads to the receiver.
8. Temporarily mount the receiver batteries as far forward in the
cockpit as possible. The battery location will be finalized after the
correct center of gravity has been established. The unpowered, glider version will have the batteries mounted as
far forward as possible, along with additional nose weight.
The electric powered version does not require additional nose weight to balance, and depending on the motor
battery used, may require the receiver batteries to be moved rearward.
