Prepare and install the ESC
1.
Check the length of the ESC wire and make sure the length can reach from the ESC location to the fan
location. Adjust as needed.
2.
Install the proper plug-in connectors between the ESC and the Motor. Flex used 4mm bullets on the
motor side on the prototypes, the JP supplied bullets are also good. Flex uses EC5 connectors for the
Battery to ESC connection.
3.
If your ESC is equipped with a BEC,
DISABLE
it by removing and taping back the center red ‘+’ wire
on the
ESC’s “throttle” lead
. (A 2S LiPo will be used to power the receiver and accessories)
4.
Assemble the included plywood ESC mounting parts.
5.
Temporarily fit the plywood battery tray into the fuselage and Mark the location of the aft mount. This
will later allow you to attach the ESC mount furthest back, without interfering with the tray mounting.
6.
Check the fit of the ESC and mount in the aircraft. Adjust the height of the mount if needed. The ESC
should be close to (4-6mm) the belly of the plane near the back side of the cooling air intake. You can add
extra 2-sided tape between the ESC and the mount if it is too far away.
