9. Test the motor for proper operation. If the motor does 

not spin in the correct direction, unplug two of the motor 
wires from the ESC and swap the position of the two wires. 
Test the motor once again to confirm. 

Warning:

 Do not install 

the propeller until you have performed this check and have 
determined that the motor works properly.

❏ 

10. If you have a 72MHz radio system, route your antenna 

through the antenna tube.

❏ 

11. Route the Y-connector(s) through the cabin floor 

panel. Hold the panel in place against the pre-installed rails 
and drill six 1/16" [1.6mm] holes into the rails using the holes 
in the floor panel as guides. Install the cabin floor using six 
#2 x 3/8" sheetmetal screws and six #2 flat washers.

COWL & PROPELLER INSTALLATION

❏ 

1. Cut out the center of the dummy engine to allow access 

for the prop adapter. Use a rotary tool with a sanding drum 
to smooth the edges.

❏ 

2. Pushrod tubes are provided for you if you choose to 

detail the dummy engine. Drill a hole in the bottom of the 
rocker cover and a corresponding hole in the crank case using 
a 3/32" [2.4mm] drill. To start the hole, use your hobby knife 
and poke a small “starter hole” to keep your drill centered.

❏ 

3. Install the aluminum pushrod tubes from the inside. 

Glue them in place.
