❑
Slide the motor into the fan shroud and line up the holes
in the front of the motor with the matching holes in the shroud.
❑
Install and tighten the two M2 x 4 machine screws to
secure the motor into place.
☞
We suggest applying threadlocker to the screws before
installing them. This will prevent them from loosening during
flight.
❑
Slide the impeller onto the shaft adapter, making sure
that the small sticker on the impeller hub is toward the front
of the shroud (Remove the sticker after installation).
❑
Thread the impeller nut into place and tighten it firmly
using an adjustable wrench.
☞
Very carefully push a small piece of wire between the
impeller blades and into the motor (not far in) to prevent the
motor from turning while tightening the impeller nut.
Important Tip:
Before the impeller is installed in the next procedure, we recommend that you check the impeller's
balance. Usually our impellers will not need balancing, but it's a good idea to check. We suggest using a propeller
balancer to do this. If the impeller is out of balance, apply a small piece of electrical tape to the back side of the "light
blade" and re-test until you are satisfied that the impeller is balanced. We do not suggest sanding the blades to
balance the impeller because of the chance of blade distortion and/or damage.
❑
Carefully examine the fan shroud for any mold flashing. If any is present, carefully cut it away using a modeling knife.

Using 220 grit sandpaper with a sanding block, lightly sand the gluing surfaces on each fuselage half smooth and
straight. If any paint is oversprayed onto the gluing surfaces, be sure to sand it away for a stronger glue joint.
