Important Information About Your Brushless ESC
Make sure your ESC brake is programmed to Off. Also, be sure
to use an ESC with the proper 9V cutoff when using 3-cell Li-Po
packs, or 6V cutoff when using 2-cell Li-Po packs.
Important Information About Your Propeller
It is also very important to check to be sure the propeller is
balanced before installing onto the shaft. An unbalanced
propeller may strip the gears or cause poor flight characteristics.
1. Solder any connectors to the speed control to connect
to the motor battery and motor if necessary. Connect the
ESC to the motor and secure it to the bottom of the motor
box using hook and loop material. Actual ESC location
may vary but proper air flow and cooling is important.
2. Connect the speed control to the radio system and
motor battery. Check that the motor is rotating in the
correct direction. It will rotate counterclockwise when
viewed from the front of the aircraft. Use the instructions
with your speed control to correct a motor that is
operating in the wrong direction.
