CAUTION:
Always disconnect the fl ight battery from
the model before removing the propeller.
Disassembly
1. Remove the screw (
A
) and the spinner (
B
) from the
hex nut (
C
).
2. Remove the hex nut, propeller (
D
) and plate (
E
) from
the collet (
F
). A tool may be required to remove the
hex nut.
3. Carefully remove the 3 screws (
G
) and the cowling (
H
)
from the fuselage. Paint may hold the cowling on the
fuselage.
4. Remove the back plate (
I
) and the collet from the
motor (
J
).
5. Remove the 4 screws (
K
) from the motor mount (
L
).
6. Disconnect the motor connectors from the ESC con-
nectors.
7. Remove the 4 screws (
M
) and 4 washers (
N
) from the
motor mount and motor.
8. Assemble in reverse order.
Assembly Tips
• Correctly align and connect the motor wire colors with
the ESC wires.
• The propeller size numbers (9 x 6) must face out from
the motor for correct propeller operation.
• A tool is required to tighten the hex nut on the collet.
• Ensure the spinner is fully connected to the spinner
back plate for safe operation.
Nose Gear Service
1. Remove the spinner, propeller and cowling for
access to the nose gear (as shown in the “Serv-
ice of Power Components” section of this manual).
2. Loosen the nose gear screw (
A
) in the steering arm
(
B
) and remove the strut (
C
). The steering arm may
be loose in the steering mount (
D
) after the strut is
removed, even if the servo linkage (
E
) is connected.
For safe steering, ensure the linkage is kept in the
same hole as it was delivered from the factory.
3. Assemble in reverse order. Install the strut with the
fl at spot facing forward. Fully tighten the nose gear
screw against the fl at surface of the nose gear strut.
Always ensure the steering linkage clevis on the rudder
servo arm is correctly adjusted so the model steers
straight when the rudder control is at neutral.
