E-flite Shoestring 15e ARF Assembly Manual
4. Loop a tie-wrap (not included) through the plate
in the fuselage right above the landing gear plate.
Make sure the tie-wrap is not looped through the
battery mounting plate.
5. Slide the speed control into the fuselage with
the battery wires, receiver lead and switch going
in and through the tie-wrap. Position the speed
control, then tighten the tie-wrap to secure the
speed control in the fuselage. The heat sink will
face the top of the fuselage.
Matching the colors between the ESC and motor
when they are connected results in the correct
motor direction if using all E-flite components.
6. Connect the wires from the motor to the wires
of the speed control. Use a tie-wrap (not included)
to secure the leads so they don’t interfere with the
operation of the motor or installation of the cowling.
7. Route the battery lead through the opening in the
fuselage. The lead for the receiver is routed under
the battery tray and receiver, then plugged into the
throttle channel of the receiver. Mount the switch
from the speed control in the fuselage where it can
be accessed when the canopy is removed.
9. Secure the battery in the fuselage using a hook
and loop strap. Also, place hook and loop tape on
the battery and fuselage where they contact each
other to prevent the battery from moving.
