3 Motor Installation
3.1 Motor Adaptor Plate
Bag 1
Some electric motors (e.g. Kontro-
nik, Plettenberg, Speed 700 Neody-
me motors) are constructed such
that they cannot be moved along the
motor plate. If you are using one of
these motors, please use the motor
adaptor plate #2499. The plate is not
needed for Hacker motors.
Please check from the Mikado
website which pinion works best with
the motorset you have (on
www.mikado-heli.de go to LOGO 10
and click “Motorization”). When a
wrong pinion is chosen, the perfor-
mance of your electric helicopter will
deteriorate and the motor or speed
controller can be damaged.
Do not tighten the set screw fully until
the final position of the pinion on the
motor shaft is determined. This is
done after installing the main gear.
There are two options for attaching
the pinion:
1. For securing the pinion, you may
flatten the motor shaft where the set
screw meets the motor shaft - without
making a flat surface on the motor
shaft.
2. Alternatively, you may screw the
set screw directly onto the motor
shaft. For this it is required that the
set screw has an appropriate rim for
engaging the motorshaft (all Mikado
pinions have this rim). Note, however,
that after attaching the set screw
once, the rim becomes blunt and may
not be used again.
