Solder
Step 1: Installing the Capacitors & Motor Wires
❑
Solder two 18" long 14 gauge hi-temp silicon motor wires
(not included) to the positive and negative terminals on the
back of the motor. Under no circumstances should you
attach the motor wires with slide-on connectors. Use solder!
☞
The terminal with the red dot next to it is the positive
terminal.
IMPORTANT
The motor wires must be 18" long to reach
the cockpit area and still have some extra left to work with.
❑
Carefully solder the three noise-suppression capacitors
to the positive and negative terminals on the back of the
motor. Two capacitors are soldered between the terminals
and the motor can and one capacitor is soldered between
the two terminals.
☞
So the solder will stick to the motor can, you should
roughen the side of the can with 220 grit sandpaper first.
Step 2: Installing the Motor & Impeller Assembly
IMPORTANT
When installing the threaded shaft adapter in
the next procedure, we strongly suggest applying threadlocker
to the set screw. This will prevent the screw from loosening
during flight.
❑
Slide the threaded shaft adapter onto the motor shaft and
tighten the set screw using a .050 hex wrench. There should
be about a 1/16" gap between the shaft adapter and the motor.
☞
Make sure that the back of the shaft adapter does not
rub against the front of the motor.
