Stage 2 - Install Throttle Wiring Harness (WHT) - For VMA-J210X JU52 Trimotor
a) Review the Read Me First documentation and the Assembly and Operations Manual that came with your model. Complete Stage 9 from the Assembly and Operations Manual using either a  VMAX Power Module set, a VMAX Power Pack or third party motors and speed controllers. 
 
b) After installation of your motors and speed controllers you may install the Throttle Warning Harness.  Locate the Throttle Wiring Harness parts bag and remove the harness.
 
c) Read all labels attached to the Throttle Wiring Harness. Pay particular attention to the larger warning label and note the color conventions used for different manufacturers. This will be important when you plug in your ESC and when you plug into your receiver.See Figure 2A and the green "path" as a reference to guide you as you proceed with the installation.

d) Turn the wing upright on its back so that you can see your ESC's located in the large access cavity near the center of the wing. Support the wing with a sheet of foam rubber or folded up fluffy towel.
 
e) Position the wing so that the trailing edge (thin) is closer to you and the leading edge (thick) is further away. When oriented in this manner, the wing panel on your left will be the left wing panel in flight and the wing panel on your right will be the right wing panel in flight. This consistent definition of left and right makes it much easier to install the Throttle Wiring Harness properly.
 
f) Thread the red, white and black wire lead from the left speed control into the power access cavity located on the top surface of the left wing about 8.5 in. (215 mm) outboard from the center of the wing. Continue feeding the red, white and black wire from the cavity into and though the internal wiring access tube that runs to the large access cavity in the center of the wing. Gently pull the wire so that it protrudes into the large access cavity. Connect this protruding wire to the end of the Throttle Wire Harness marked "Throttle Control Left". Use the supplied "Throttle Left" sticker to wrap the connection securely.
 
g) Repeat this process for the right wing. Thread the red, white and black wire lead from the right speed control into the power access cavity located on the top surface of the right wing about 8.5 in. (215 mm) outboard from the center of the wing. Continue feeding the red, white and black wire from the cavity into and through the internal wiring access tube that runs to the large access cavity in the center of the wing. Gently pull the wire so that it protrudes into the large access cavity. Connect this protruding wire to the end of the Throttle Wire Harness marked "Throttle Control Right". Use the supplied "Throttle Right" sticker to wrap the connection securely.
 
h) Once completed, both electronic speed controls for the wing motors will be connected to the Throttle Wiring Harness and the end of the Throttle Wiring Harness that is labeled "Throttle Channel ==> ==>" will be hanging loose near the center of the wing ready to be plugged into the throttle channel of your receiver.  
 
i) Connect the wire marked "Throttle Control Fuselage" to the ESC lead for the fuselage motor when mating the wing to the fuselage. You will unplug this connection when removing the wing from the fuselage.
