High-End Technology F16 Assembly Instruction Manual Download Page 13

 

Read the installation instruction from your fan-unit first. Install motor and ESC first. You can 

either install the ESC inside the thrust tube or outside. We recommend to places the ESC 
behind the motor inside the thrust tube. Trim off the mounting tabs from the fan-shroud 
otherwise the fan unit will not fit. You can use our already made fiberglass thrust tube see top 
left picture. Tape the thrust-tube to the fan-unit.  

On the above left picture you see the 4 channel micro receiver mounted above the 
thrust-tube and underneath the vertical fin.

 

Before you install the Exhaust Cone you must trim the backend of the thrust-tube to 
size. Trim until the thrust tube fits tight in the Exhaust cone. 
Now you can secure (prevent the fan-unit from turning) by taping (clear tape) the 
thrust tube to the Exhaust cone.
