29.
Use pliers to attach a
swivel
to one end of four
springs
. Then attach the free end of
each of these four springs to the
loops
in the loose ends of the four 9 1/2-inch long
wires which were attached to the top wing’s struts during step 24.
30.
Insert a supplied wood screw through the open ends of each of the four swivels,
then guide each wire with its spring, swivel and wood screw toward the fuselage,
and use the wood screws to
secure the swivels to each side of the fuselage
at
approx. 3-inches below the mounting point for each of the four cabane struts.
31.
Attach your motor
to the Nieuport 28’s motor box using the mounting hardware
supplied with your electric motor and the motor box’s predrilled holes.
(Note: Due to production tolerances, it may be necessary to slightly ream
the holes in your motor’s mount to allow the motor’s mounting bolts to
align with the holes in the motor box.)
32.
Following the instructions supplied with your motor and ESC, solder
barrel connectors to your ESC
. (Use the barrel connectors supplied
with your motor.) Solder a
power connector
(not supplied) to the red
and black powers leads on your battery and solder a matching power
connector to your battery.
Route your motor’s wires
into the motor box
and attach your ESC
to the motor, and connect the ESC’s three-wire
throttle lead to your radio receiver’s throttle channel.
33.
With NO propeller on the motor, set your transmitter’s throttle
and throttle trim controls to minimum. Switch ON the transmit-
ter and connect the ESC to the battery. Listen for a series of ini-
tialization sounds, then slowly raise the transmitter’s throttle to
no more than 25% of the way up;
the motor should rotate in
the clockwise direction
as viewed from the rear of the airplane.
(Carefully run the motor slowly and only for the few seconds
necessary to observe its direction of rotation.)
34.
If the motor rotated in the clockwise (correct) direction
,
return the transmitter’s throttle to minimum, disconnect the ESC
from the battery, switch OFF the transmitter, and set your bat-
tery and transmitter aside. However,
if the motor powered up
in the counterclockwise (wrong) direction
as viewed from the
rear of the airplane, return the throttle control to minimum, dis-
connect the ESC from the battery, swap either two of the three
ESC-to-motor wires, and repeat the above step to ensure the
motor rotates in the correct direction.
35.
Positioning the motor box’s firewall so it provides a slight
amount of down- and right-thrust, slide your ESC and motor
box into the Nieuport 28’s nose.
36.
Bring your ESC’s power connector and red and black leads out
of the fuselage and in front of the firewall, as shown.
