3. Slide the electronic speed control into the fuselage. Slide

the stick mount on the motor mount stick.

4. Use a drill and 1/16 in (1.5mm) drill bit to drill a

pilot hole for the screw into the motor stick. Use the

1.5mm x 10mm sheet metal screw to secure the mount

to the stick.

5. Check the operation of the motor using the radio

system. The motor should rotate counterclockwise when

viewed from the front. Follow the instructions included with

the speed control if necessary to reverse the direction of

rotation of the motor. Secure the speed control inside the

fuselage using hook and loop tape.

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.

6. Tape four pieces of cardstock onto the fuselage (two on

each side of the fuselage) to indicate the locations of the

hard points inside the fuselage for mounting the cowling.
