IMPORTANT
Before installing the motor into the fuselage it must first be broken in. This accomplishes two very important things:
breaking in the motor will maximize its performance, and, most importantly, you will be able to verify that the motor is
working properly before installing it into the airplane. It is strongly suggested that you not skip this important section.
To break in the motor, it is recommended that the motor be run for at least 10 minutes
without
a propeller at a voltage of
less than 5 volts - a 4 cell receiver battery pack works great for this. The low voltage will keep the motor from overheating
while the brushes and bushings seat. Please follow the procedures below for proper motor break-in.
Step 1: Installing the Motor Wires
❑
Solder two 6" long 14 gauge hi-temp silicon motor wires
(not included) to the positive and negative terminals on the
back of the motor.
☞
The terminal with the red dot next to it is the positive
terminal.
Step 2: Breaking In the Motor
❑
Set the motor between the handles of a pair of wire
cutters and secure the motor to the handles using several
rubber bands. This will keep the motor secure enough for the
break-in procedure.
