5. If using the ElectriFly SS-8 ESC and a Futaba radio,
set the throttle channel in your transmitter to “reverse” so the
motor will turn when you advance the throttle.
❏
6. Connect the ESC to
channel 3
in your receiver. Turn
on your transmitter. Connect the battery to the battery wire
coming from the ESC. Holding the motor in your hand,
advance the throttle stick on your transmitter to see if the
motor is turning in the correct direction—it should be turning
counter-clockwise if viewing the motor from the front. If the
motor is not turning the correct direction, swap any two
motor/ESC wires with each other. Confi rm that the motor is
now turning in the correct direction by advancing the throttle
stick again.

7. If your #0 Phillips screwdriver is not magnetic, rub a
magnet against it several times to get it magnetized.
❏
8. Hold the motor to the fi rewall, aligning the screw holes
in the motor with the holes in the fi rewall. Mount the motor
with three 2mm x 8mm Phillips screws included with this
kit (six screws are included, but three are for spares). You
should be able to pick up the screws with your magnetic
screwdriver and just screw them in. If your screwdriver is
not magnetic, make small washers from thin cardstock or
construction paper to hold the screws to the motor, and then
mount the motor.
DO NOT
mount the propeller to the motor
at this time.
