4. Cut a paper template to locate where the fan fairing
will exit the exhaust tube. Make sure the template fits
tightly against the mounting lugs as the overall width of
the template will be used for positioning.
5. Use a felt-tipped pen to mark the edge of the fan
unit on the template. Make a mark for both of the
mounting lugs.
6. Align the template on the exhaust tube. The
marks made in the previous step will align with
the notches in the tube for the mounting lugs.
Make sure the template is on the side of the
exhaust tube with the seam (bottom). Use a felt-
tipped pen to trace the outline for the fan fairing
on the exhaust tube.
7. Remove the template from the exhaust tube. Use
hobby scissors to trim the exhaust tube for the fan
fairing. Slot the exhaust tube so it can be slid over
the fan fairing.
8. Check the fit of the exhaust tube on the fan unit.
It may be necessary to trim the opening slightly
using hobby scissors.
Matching the colors between the ESC and motor
when they are connected results in the correct
motor direction if using all E-flite components.
9. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to thread a
mounting screw into the four holes for mounting the
fan unit.
