Now that you have completed assembly and setup of your model, it will be necessary for you to connect the
motor to the ESC to test its operation.
17.1 First, remove the main rotor blades, mounting bolts and nuts from the main rotor blade grips. This
will allow you to test the motor’s operation more safely.
17.2 Connect the three motor wire leads to the motor power output leads of the ESC. You can connect
the wire leads in any order.
17.3 Move your model (with battery pack installed but not connected) and transmitter to an open area.
This will allow you to power up the model to confirm that the motor is both operating correctly, and
rotating in the correct direction.
17.4 Turn your transmitter on first, with the throttle/collective stick in its lowest position. Then, plug the
battery pack into the ESC. Be sure to exercise extreme caution as the ESC may now be armed, which
could allow the motor to spin the flybar/flybar paddles and tail rotor blades.
17.5 Carefully move clear of the model, flybar paddles and tail rotor blades. Also, be sure that no loose
articles or other obstructions can come into contact with the flybar paddles and tail rotor blades.
Once clear of the model and any moving parts, and certain the ESC has been armed properly (see
ESC manual for more info if required), slowly advance the throttle/collective stick until the motor
begins to spin.
17.6 Note the direction that the flybar paddles spin with the motor running. They should spin clockwise
when viewing the helicopter (at a safe distance) from above. If the flybar paddles are spinning
clockwise, the motor is operating in the correct direction.
If, however, the flybar paddles are spinning counterclockwise, the motor is operating in the wrong
direction. Power the model down (stop the motor and unplug the battery pack) and reverse the
positions of any two motor wire lead connections to the ESC. Then, repeat the steps to check the
direction the flybar paddles spin with the motor running. They should now be spinning clockwise,
indicating that the motor is operating in the correct direction.
