3. Remove the template from the fi rewall. Drill 1/16" [1.6mm]
pilot holes through the fi rewall at the marks. Enlarge the holes
with a 13/64" (or 7/32") drill.
❏
4. Use an M4 x 12 SHCS (socket-head cap screw) with a
stack of washers and a 3mm Allen wrench to draw the M4
blind nuts into the back of the fi rewall.
❏
5. Mount the brushless motor mount to the fi rewall with
four M4 x 12 SHCS and M4 washers; it’s a little easier to fi rst
loosely fasten the mount with the bottom two screws, then
the top two screws before tightening them all down.
❏
6. If necessary, ream or drill the back plate of the spinner
to fi t on the prop shaft, then fi t the back plate. Adjust the
mount so the back plate will be 4-3/4" [120mm] from the
fi rewall, then use a 3/32" Allen wrench to tentatively tighten
the screws on both sides of the mount to temporarily lock
the halves together.
Mount the ESC
❏
1. You may copy the battery and ESC installation shown in
the manual, or do it another way if you have a different ESC.
However you mount the ESC, plan and test-fi t the battery
and ESC before cutting wires or performing any other steps
that cannot be undone. Here, the ESC has been temporarily
mounted to make sure it all fi ts and to determine the wire
length. Now, we know the ESC will fi t inside the cowl, but
the discharge wires from the ESC to the battery will have to
be lengthened.
❏
2. Prepare your ESC as required to work with your setup.
For the Edge Lite 75 we extended the discharge wires an
additional 8-1/2" [215mm] and soldered the female 4mm
bullet connectors to the motor wires.
