 2. Attach the prop adapter to the front of the motor case 

using the screws included with the motor. Harden the motor 
mounting holes in the plywood motor adapter with thin CA 
glue. Use the fl at head screws included with motor and thread 
locking compound to attach the plywood motor adapter to 
the back of the motor.

 3. Use four 3x10mm machine screws, four 3mm fl at 

washers, and thread locking compound to attach the motor 
to the mounting box.

Install the Electronics

 1. Brush a thin coat of epoxy onto the bottom of one side 

of the motor mounting box and down the center of the battery 
mounting tray. The smooth surface of the epoxy will improve the 
adhesion of the double-sided tape and hook & loop material.

 2. Connect the ESC to the motor leads and feed the receiver 

lead through the front of the fuselage. The excess length of 
motor leads can be wrapped through the side of the motor 
mounting box to keep them out of the way as shown. Use a 
piece of the included 

double-sided foam tape

 to secure the 

ESC to the side of the motor mounting box. Position the ESC 
on the aft end of the mounting box so that the ESC receiver 
lead will reach the receiver. 

 3. Attach the hook side of the included hook & loop 

material to the battery mounting tray.

 4. Brush a thin coat of epoxy onto the aft side of the wing 

spar. Connect the servos and ESC to the receiver. If you are 
using a 4-channel receiver, a Y-harness or dual servo extension 
is needed to join the aileron servos into one channel. When 
the epoxy has hardened, use a piece of double-sided foam 
tape to secure the receiver to the wing spar.
