E-flite Divo 3D Profile Assembly Manual
Important
: The amount of right thrust is specifically
designed into the airframe for indoor competition flight.
If you will be flying your Divo indoors and out, we
recommend that you reduce the amount of thrust to 2 to
3 degrees. To do this with the wooden firewall and Park
300 motor, just add one to two washers to the right side
of the motor between the firewall and the motor.
Motor Installation (Cyclon)
Required Parts
Assembled airframe
Carbon tube
Motor w/hardware
Required Tools and Adhesives
Small round file
6-minute epoxy
1. Sand the carbon tube on the outside. This will give
a good bond to the epoxy.
Note
: If you plan on flying very aggressive 3D flight, use
a small screw to hold the motor to the tube along with
the epoxy. We used a spare servo arm screw from an
E-flite S60 servo. It will be easier to slide the tube on the
motor and pre-drill the hole through both the tube and the
motor before you mount it to the fuselage. Use a pin vise
to drill the hole. Be careful and drill through the carbon
tube slowly or it may split. When you are done drilling
through both, remove the motor from the tube and drill
the carbon tube out so the hole is slightly bigger than
the screw you are using. This will prevent the tube from
splitting when you mount the motor.
