17. Temporarily install the motor and spinner assembly.
18. Measure and mark 1mm back from the spinner around the
fuselage.
19. Remove the spinner assembly and motor and sand the front of the
fuselage back to the line.
TIP: Use a sanding block to keep the front of the fuselage straight.
Remove material slowly and check the progress often. The goal is
to get a perfectly straight line that is parallel with the back of the
spinner around the circumference of the fuselage.
20. Mount the motor to the motor mount using medium thread locking
compound.
21. Use hook and loop tape or servo tape to install the ESC in the
cockpit.
22. Connect the motor leads to the ESC following the instructions
included with the motor and ESC.
23. Connect the ESC throttle lead to the appropriate reciever port.

24. Cut and remove the section of the cockpit floor shown.
25. Mount the motor battery in the cockpit floor and secure using hook
and loop straps through the pre-cut holes in the cockpit floor.
26. Mount the receiver batteries at the rear of the cockpit. The receiver
batteries can be moved accordingly to adjust the balance of the
aircraft. When using the recommended optional power system
components no additional ballast should be required. However,
proceed to the Balancing the Aircraft section to confirm the correct
center of gravity.
CAUTION: Never attempt to fly without properly balancing the
aircraft. An un-balanced aircraft will be extremely unstable and
may cause a crash. Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
27. Prepare the spinner yoke by installing the tapered shaft and nut.
Do not tighten the nut at this time.
28. Check the fit of the propeller blades to the yoke. The blade should
move freely when the pin is installed. If not, lightly sand the blades
where they contact the yoke to allow free movement.
29. Once the blades fit the yoke, use the pins and clips to secure the
blades to the yoke. Ensure the front of the blades are facing toward
the notched side of the yoke.
30. Fit the assembly to the motor shaft. Check that the yoke can rotate
freely and not contact the front of the fuselage through its full
rotation. Use a 12mm wrench to tighten the nut, securing the yoke
and adapter.
31. Install the spinner, making sure it fits into the notches in the
propeller yoke. Use the screw provided with the spinner and a
#1 Phillips screwdriver to secure the spinner to the adapter.
TIP: The spinner and propeller blades may be painted to match
the fluorescent orange of the aircraft nose, using the products
mentioned in the Fluorescent Color Care section, making the
spinner and propeller almost invisible during flight.
