Flyzone Tidewater
The molded lip of the fuselage hatch opening (above) is mated to another molded lip on the bottom of the hatch cover that fits inside the opening. The front of the hatch is held with a sturdy molded tab, while the back is held with an embedded magnet. The wing (above, at right) is held in place by way of molded hard plastic pegs in front and a nylon screw reinforced by a hardened plastic strip at the wing’s trailing edge. Larry presses the flight battery (at right) in place using the provided hook-and-loop strips on the bottom of the fuselage and the battery. Note the black mark just to the left of the battery that indicates where the battery should be placed to achieve the correct flight balance point. Molded tabs and indentations align the stabilizer with the top of the vertical fin (below), and then the assembly is locked in place with this long screw going through the stabilizer and into the vertical fin.
The power pod houses the motor in a well-ventilated housing and is bolted to the wing. The motor wiring harness (at left) extends down through the wing and attaches to the ESC. Two nylon bolts hold the pod in place. The rudder servo (above) with connected pushrod is already mounted in its own molded pocket inside the fuselage.
