Timed Motor Stock Motor
!
It is a good idea to break your motor in. There are different schools of thought on how to do this
but, essentially, you are trying to get the carbon brushes to seat. An easy way to do this is to run
the motor for an hour on one cell with no propeller installed.
!
Slide the motor over the motor mount stick. The motor comes with 4 tiny screws. I have no idea
what they are for but you can use one to fasten the motor to the motor mount. Using the access
hole in the bottom of the fuselage drill a small pilot hole through the plastic gearbox and into the
motor mount. Screw the tiny screw in. It does not need to be tight.
Final Assembly
!
Install the speed control so that it hangs from the bottom of the fuselage through the two front
cooling holes. This is to keep the ESC cool.
!
Mount the receiver with Velcro inside the fuselage cavity behind the wing spar.
!
If you don’t have a computer radio that allows aileron and flap mixing, you will need a Y cable to
connect the two aileron servos to the receiver.
!
On the bottom of the plywood battery mount, you will find two engraved lines. Glue the
.5”x.75”x1/16” plywood rectangles to the battery mount, aligned to the lines.
!
Slide the battery support into the slot cut in bulkhead F5, over the center wing seam and then
through bulkheads F3 and F2. Pull up on the front of the battery support so it “clicks” into place.
The two rectangles you just installed will click into the wing spar separator.
!
Cut a 3 ½” strip of Velcro and stick it to the battery mount.
