Disassembly
CAUTION: Always disconnect the battery
before handling or adjusting the propeller or
motor. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury.
Propeller
1. Remove the spinner (A) from the propeller (B).
Before re-installing the spinner on the propeller,
scrape off as much excess glue as possible, making
sure not to damage the propeller blades or hub.
Never operate the aircraft with a damaged propeller.
2. Hold the propeller (E) stationary and use a
5mm wrench, pliers, or nut driver to remove
the 2.5mm locknut (C) and washer (D). The
propeller can then be removed from the motor
shaft (F).
Motor and Firewall
1. Carefully remove the cowling (G) from the
fuselage. Paint may hold the cowling on the
fuselage. Do not use excess force as the
cowling plasic is relatively thin and can tear.
2. Remove 4 screws (H) from the motor mount (I)
and the fuselage.
3. Remove 2 screws (J) and the motor (K)
from the motor mount. The motor magnets
may attract screws to the motor.
4. Disconnect the motor wire connectors (L)
from the ESC/receiver connectors.
5. Assemble in reverse order.
• Reinstall the propeller by properly fitting it onto
the motor shaft, installing the flat washer, and
tightening the 2.5mm lock nut with a
5mm wrench, pliers, or nut driver.
• Align the colors of the motor wires and connect
them with the ESC wires.
• Correctly center the spinner on the propeller and
use only foam-compatible CA (cyanoacrylate
adhesive) to attach the spinner to the propeller.
