the bottom. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten all four
screws.

Î Optional: Apply a thin coat of thin CA on the
tray using a paper towel. Allow the CA to cure
before applying the hook and loop tape.
Î We recommend applying the hook portion of the hook and
loop tape to the airframe, and the loop portion to the battery.

battery. Make sure not to cover any warning labels on the
battery. Place the battery in the fuselage, and use the hook
and loop strap to secure the battery.
Î The placement of the battery can be changed to
adjust the Center of Gravity. Once adjusted, mark the
location of the battery so it can be returned to the
correct location when installed after charging.
