Remove plastic rings from propeller package, select the one with
the larger internal diameter, and insert it into the back of the
propeller hub.
Remove prop nut and metal spacer
from motor. Add propeller with writing
facing up in relation to the sky. This
means you’ll need to attach props to
bottom motors upside down! Replace
spacer and prop nut; tightly fasten
prop nut to threaded collet.
We recommend inserting a hex wrench
(2 mm) into the hole in the side of the
prop nut to get better leverage when
tightening prop nuts.
