when using 3-cell Li-Po packs.
5. Use a knot to tie a 12-inch (300mm) length of
string around the motor leads of the speed control.
On the opposite end of the string, use a knot to tie
a #4 steel washer to the string. You will have to
open a bag not associated to the motor installation
to obtain the washer.
6. Lower the string from the wing opening in the
fuselage for the radio compartment. The washer
will weight the string so you can guide it through
the hole in the firewall as shown.
7. Lower the speed control into the fuselage
as shown. As you pull the string through the
firewall you will need to guide the speed control
into the fuselage.
8. Eventually you will pull the motor leads from the
speed control through the firewall. Use care not to
pull too hard and break the string.
9. Connect the leads from the motor to the speed
control as shown.
If using all E-flite branded equipment in your power
system, the wires will connect to the corresponding
colors; red to red, blue to blue, black to black.
