Step 8
Remove the covering from the bottom of the fuselage to
allow for cooling air through the fuselage.
Step 9
Plug the motor into the speed control. Secure the
batteries using the hook and loop strap. Plug the speed
control into the receiver. Mount the speed control inside
the fuselage so it will not interfere with the installation
and removal of the batteries.
Note
: Apply a piece of hook and loop (not
included) on the batteries and battery tray if
you find the batteries slide forward or aft.
Step 10
Turn on the radio system. Plug the batteries and speed
control together. Use the throttle on the transmitter to
check that everything is working correctly. Check that
the motor is rotating counterclockwise. If not, follow the
directions included with the speed control to correct the
situation.
Note
: Always check that the motor will not
interfere with anything on your workbench.
Never
operate the motor at full throttle without
a load. Simply use this to check the rotation
of the motor before installing the propeller.
Step 11
Install the propeller and spinner using the instructions
included with your particular motor.
