2. Mount the motor with four M3x6 Phillips screws and a
small drop of threadlocker on the threads.The motor wires
should be oriented along the bottom of the fuselage.

3. Assemble the folding propeller as shown. Fit the
propeller blades into the hub and then install the pins. The
locknuts should be just tight enough so the blades still
rotate freely on the pins.
❏
4. Apply a light fi lm of oil to the colleted propeller shaft
so the spinner back plate will be easier to remove after the
prop nut has been tightened.
❏
5. Temporarily test-fi t the propeller/spinner assembly and
check the gap between the front of the fuselage and the
spinner back plate. The gap should be approximately 1-2mm.
Whenever removing the propeller assembly in the future,
do not tap or apply pressure to the front of the backplate.
Instead, insert a sheet of hard plastic or wood between
the spinner gap to push the backplate forward—it also
helps to sand a bevel to the edge of the plastic or wood
part so it can be wedged into the gap.

6. Bevel the edges of the battery plate to conform to the
fuselage when in position.
