mount the engine to the firewall (and protrude from

the back of the firewall) will not contact the battery

pack. If the screws wear through the battery casing

they could cause a short circuit and start a fire. To
protect the battery pack, place a 1/8" piece of balsa
between your battery pack and the firewall.

Note: Only a 500 mAh "square pack" (or smaller
unit ) will fit in the battery compartment of the Piece
0' Cake. You can purchase a square battery pack
separately if you do not have one. Some hobby
shops or electronics shops will convert a flat pack
into a square pack.

Lay another piece of foam on top of the receiver, then

glue a 1 /8" piece of leftover plywood or balsa to the
fuselage sides on top of the receiver to hold it securely

in position.

LI 2. Place a piece of 1/4" foam rubber large
enough to cushion the bottom and sides of your
receiver in the bottom of the fuselage just behind the
servos. Place your receiver in the foam. You may
have to flex the pushrods to the side to slip your
receiver past them.

Ul 4. Mount the on/off switch in a location that will
not interfere with the receiver or pushrods and will
not become coated with exhaust residue.

0 3. Plug the servos and the switch into the receiver.

The Piece 0' Cake is a two channel model (where the

turning function is the rudder, not ailerons) so connect

the rudder servo into channel 1 (or the aileron
channel) of your receiver.

Q 5. Make a strain relief and an antenna hook
from a cut off servo arm as shown in the sketch.
Place the strain relief on the antenna about 3" from
the receiver. Mount the antenna to the antenna hook
and a T-pin inserted into the leading edge of the fin
as shown in the photo and the sketch. Never shorten
the antenna wire but let the excess wire "dangle"
past the antenna hook.
