6. Assembling Pod
28. Locate receiver and battery and insert them into
front cavity of pod. This cavity was cut for a 1/3AAA, 210mAh NiMH flat pack
and any generic sub-micro receiver with end-mounted plugs. Make adjustments to
this cavity if necessary. There should be adequate space below the receiver for
excess wiring. The use of a switch is not recommended.

29. Remove battery and receiver from pod. Round
edges of pod as shown on plan. Be careful not to remove any material at around
the edges of the battery, receiver, and servo compartments. You can use a sharp
razor blade to do the rough shaping and then switch to 100, and then 150 grit
sandpaper for final shaping and sanding. While shaping pod, use light sanding
pressure and always support the area you are sanding - EPP foam is elastic, but
it is also brittle and as a result gouges easily. When you are satisfied with
the shape of the pod, remove loose dust. Apply paint scheme if
desired.
