Watch this video and learn how to attach the receiver to the fuselage of your micro rc plane. Also, this video shows you how to attach wheels to the plane’s metal landing gear. By boring the holes so they are slightly misaligned, we can give the gearbox axle some downthrust and some right thrust. We bore the holes with the precision reamers (listed under "Tools" in our online catalog), or you can use the tip of a #11 hobby knife blade. The carbon fuselage rod fits the holes and we can hold a thrustline position we like and lock it in with CA glue. Then re-inforce with more CA glue and kicker when it's just right. Thrustline is an important part of most kits, so it's good to learn from this Plantraco Microflight episode.
