 3. Use a hook and loop strap to secure the battery
inside the fuselage. Use hook and loop tape between the
battery and fuselage to prevent the battery from moving
forward or rearward in flight. The battery will need to be
installed as far forward as you can install it to help get
the CG correct.
Important Information About Your Brushless ESC
Make sure your ESC brake is programmed to Off. Also,
be sure to use an ESC with the proper 9V cutoff when
using 3-cell Li-Po packs, or 6V cutoff when using 2-cell
Li-Po packs.
 4. Turn on the radio system and plug the battery into the
speed control. Use the throttle to check that the motor
rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the front. If
not, follow the directions included with your speed control
to change the direction of the motor rotation.
Note: Never check the motor rotation on the bench
with the propeller installed. The plane could move and
cause serious injury. Always check the motor without the
propeller to avoid injury.
Important Information About Your Propeller
It is also very important to check to be sure the
propeller is balanced before installing onto the shaft. An
unbalanced propeller may strip the gears or cause poor
flight characteristics.
Note: If it is necessary to enlarge the hole in the
propeller, make sure to check the balance of the
propeller afterwards.
 5. Install the propeller using the adapter provided with
your motor.
