mounts inside the fuselage.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PROPELLER
It is 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.
Make sure to check the balance of the propeller
after enlarging the hole in the propeller.
 5. Install the propeller assembly onto the motor
shaft. Tighten the propeller nut using a hex wrench
slipped through the hole in the propeller nut.
