e) Mounting the Motor Unit
Connect the motor connecting cables to the cables of the flight controller. If the
flight controller used by you has no programmable rotary reversion, you al-
ready need to check the rotational direction of the motor now. The rotational
direction is correct if the engine turns counter-clockwise when viewed from the
front.
Convert the electric motor so that it is suitable for back assembly. Then attach
the motor to the motor carrier (2).
Insert the flight controller into the fuselage through the intended opening (1)
and screw the motor carriers (2) to the pre-drilled attachment holes of the mo-
tor mounting plate with four screws (3).
Cut out the cowling along the contours. Temporarily fix the two halves together
Our advice:
Mount the rear plate of the spinner onto the motor shaft to per-
fectly adjust the cowling.
Once you are satisfied with the results, roughen the inside of the glue area with
sandpaper.
Next, glue the two halves together on the inner surface with 5-minute epoxy
resin.
Glue the decal strips (1) from the included decal sheet to the cowling side.
Screw the cowling to the fuselage with the supplied wood screws (2).
Mount the spinner (3) and propeller (4) on the motor shaft.
Important!
Always check the motor nut for tight fit. A propeller which breaks
off at full throttle can cause serious damage to individuals and/or
property!
