E-flite RV-9 450 Assembly Manual
The blind nuts in the firewall can be positioned
for a variety of motors. It may be necessary
to adjust them to fit your particular motor.
3. Pass the servo and battery leads from the speed
control through the hole in fuselage as shown. The
controller is held in place using hook and loop
material. Use scissors to cut the hook and loop
down to fit on the speed control. Plug the lead from
the speed control into the receiver at this time.
4. Connect the leads between the motor and speed
control. Make sure they are tucked away so they
will not interfere with the operation of the motor.
5. Install the battery in the fuselage as shown. Use
a hook and loop strap to secure the pack in the
fuselage. A small strip of hook and loop between
the battery and battery tray can be used to keep
the battery from moving fore and aft in the fuselage
during flight.
Use the battery to correctly balance your model. It
can be moved forward or rearward as necessary
to make changes to the balance of your model.
6. Check the operation of your motor at this time
using the radio system. The motor should spin
counterclockwise when viewed from the front
of the fuselage. If not, follow the speed control
manufacturer’s recommendations to reverse the
direction if necessary.
