1. Attach the motor mount to the firewall using
the screws provided with the motor. A #0 Phillips
screwdriver will be required to tighten the two
screws.
2. The motor shaft must be repositioned to accept
the propeller adapter. Follow the instructions
provided with the motor to reposition the motor
shaft. Use care not to damage the motor.
Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners
to prevent them from vibrating loose.
3. The motor can now be attached to the mount.
Follow the directions provided with the motor and
use a 1.5mm flat blade screwdriver to secure the
motor to the mount.
4. Connect the leads from the motor to the speed
control.
If you use all E-flite components in the
power system, you can connect the ESC and
motor wires by matching the colors and the
motor will spin in the correct direction.
5. Secure the motor and speed control leads so
they do not interfere with the operation of the
motor.
