Motor and Speed Control Installation
Required Parts
Fuselage assembly
Electronic speed control (ESC)
Motor (Power 15 or Power 25)
3mm x 10mm socket head bolt (4)
3mm x 18mm socket head bolt (4)
3mm lock washer (4)
Aluminum spacer, 5/16-inch (7mm) (4)
Required tools and Adhesives
Threadlock
Hex wrench or ball driver: 2.5mm
Hook and loop tape
Phillips screwdriver: #1, #2
Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners
to prevent them from vibrating loose.
 1. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to attach the
X-mount to the motor using the screws provided
with the motor.
 2. Attach the motor to the firewall using four 3mm
x 10mm socket head screws and four 3mm lock
washers. Tighten the screws using a 2.5mm hex
wrench or ball driver.
Note: When installing the Power 15 you will
be required to place the 5/16-inch (7mm)
aluminum spacers between the mount and
firewall and use the 3mm x 18mm socket head
bolts to provide the correct spacing for the
cowling.
 8. Use side cutters to trim the excess screw on the
opposite side of the bracket.
 9. Use a pin vise and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill bit
to drill a hole in the center of each hinge slot. Drill
holes in both the rudder and fin at this time. This
creates a tunnel for the CA to wick into, making
a better bond between the hinge and surrounding
wood.
 10. Place a T-pin in the center of each of the three
hinges. This will center the hinges when installed in
the rudder.
 11. Insert two of the hinges in the rudder at this
time. The third hinge will be installed later.
 12. Press the rudder tightly against the fin. Remove
the T-pins and apply thin CA into the top and
bottom of both hinges.
 13. Once the CA has fully cured. Gently pull on the
rudder to make sure the hinges are secure. If any
hinges are loose, reapply CA to the hinge.
