29. INSTALLING THE PROPELLERS
29.1 Carbon fibre
Carbon fibre propellers are available as an accessory.
You must apply Loctite
®
(Blue) to the screw threads before
inserting and tightening them.
Follow the installation diagram [ Fig. 14 ] . Install a propeller on each motor. Match up ”L”
and ”R” labels on propeller and boom (”L” with ”L” and ”R” with ”R”).
29.2 Plastic
Tighten the cap nut with moderate force! Overtightening
will irreversibly damage the thread of the propeller mount
axle. In this case you must immediately replace the
propeller mount!
Follow the installation diagram [ Fig. 15 ] . Install a propeller on each motor. Match up ”L”
(boom) and ”8045” (propeller) and ”R” and ”8045R”.
