Electric Motor Installation - Horizon Hobby Hangar 9 Ki-43 Oscar 60cc Manuel D'utilisation

6. It may be necessary to trim excess material from the canopy. Use
hobby scissors to trim the canopy, then use medium grit sandpaper
to smooth the edges.
7. Use medium-grit sandpaper to lightly sand the inside edge of the
canopy where it contacts the canopy hatch. Clean the sanded area
using a paper towel and isopropyl alcohol to remove any debris or
oils. This provides the surface texture necessary for the adhesive to
bond to.
8. Use canopy glue or contact adhesive to glue the canopy to the
canopy hatch. Use tape to hold the canopy in position until the
adhesive fully cures.
 Do not use CA when gluing the canopy. When CA cures, it releases
gases that can fog the canopy and detract from its appearance.

ELECTRIC MOTOR INSTALLATION

 As with many scale warbirds, the Ki-43 Oscar has a short nose
moment. It maybe necessary to add nose weight depending on what
power system is used. Be aware of this when assembling and try
to keep all components as far forward in the fuselage as possible.
1. Place the mounting template on the fi rewall. Use low-tack tape to
hold the template in position. Use a drill and 1/4-inch (6mm) drill bit
to drill the four holes in the fi rewall to attach the motor.
 When using power systems other than the recommended
choices, we advise using the mounting template as a test
to ensure hole alignment before drilling the firewall.
2. Use the screws and standoffs to draw the blind nuts into the fi rewall
from inside the fuselage.
3. Solder any connectors necessary to connect the speed control to
the motor and battery. Secure the speed control to the fi rewall using
screws or tie wraps.
4. Attach the mount to the motor using the hardware included with the
motor. Use a drop of threadlock on each screw to prevent them from
vibrating loose.
