Safety is important even with these small

motors. Do not run the motor until it is

installed. See page 18.

oam is a unique matrix that is

resistant to solvents. The urethane paint

however is not. Repairs can be made

with Zagi-Lock and clear tape. Avoid

overflowing the glue onto the painted

surfaces. Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing

alcohol) or Windex can be used safely to

remove residual mold release before

applying tape or decals. Place the decals

carefully the first time. The decal

adhesive will lift the paint.

NiCad and NiMH batteries are not

shipped with a charge. All batteries must

be charged before any hookup can be

done. Charge the TX (transmitter) battery

over night with the charger in the radio

component box. The radio component

charger will not charge the 8 cell 370

mAh NIMH battery. It must be charged

with a separate charger. Make sure that

the charger is designed to charge a 9.6v

8 cell MiMH battery.

Use the decal stars sparingly..... Since

most decals and other design decora-

tions are applied behind the center of

gravity, the wing can become tailheavy.

The decals are better  used for repairs.

usher motors don’t have the advan-

tage of the prop wash for cooling.

Pushers instead depend on the air

resulting from the forward motion of the

aircraft. A heat sync employs heat

conducting aluminum fins to help the

motor case dissipate heat by increasing

the surface area. Lowering the operating

temperature can extend the life of the

motor. The heat sync was manufactured

to close tolarances and must be installed

correctly to conduct properly.
