1. Slide the cowl onto the fuselage. Center the motor

shaft in the opening.

2. Attach the propeller to the gearbox using the supplied

3mm washer and 3mm locknut. Make sure not to over-
tighten the 3mm locknut. Install the spinner into position
on the gearbox shaft. If using an Outrunner motor,
install the propeller adapter and propeller.

Note: It is very important that you check to be

sure the propeller is balanced before installing

onto the shaft. An unbalanced propeller may

strip the gear. When installing the propeller,

please do not over-tighten the 3mm locknut. The

use of the locknut will prevent the propeller from

falling off in flight.
