5) Cut a pad from balsa sheet according to battery size and cut out part of cockpit floor of the same size. You may
make the pad longer so that you can move battery and modify the center of gravity. Glue balsa pad to fuselage.
At the same time glue velcro to the pad and to the battery. Cut another pad from balsa for the receiver, fix it in
front of batteries using velcro. Pass the antenna through fuselage and take it out through a small opening made at
the back of fuselage.
6) Remove carefully servo covers from wings and make slits for servo levers in them. Cut out opening for servos.
Connect extension cables 30 cm to servos and pass them through the wing. Insert servos to prepared openings
and stick bases of servos with a drop of glue. Glue servo covers in. Make links of aileron and servo levers from
steel wire 0.8 mm and secure them with a drop of glue or with a piece of spaghetti.
7) Cut and glue flap mechanism covers. Prepare openings in wings for their installation.
WARNING! If you install landing gear, glue the covers into openings after installation of gear locks.
If you are going to fly without landing gear, glue covers into slits and represent wheel tires using black paint.
