3 E-flite Sobré 3D Profile Assembly Manual
Optional Variable Pitch Prop Installation
Note: The following outlines the installation of a VPP
for your Sobré. Be sure to consult the manual for your
chosen variable pitch prop unit before proceeding with
installation of the pitch servo and linkage. Due to the
variety of VPP systems available, there may be some
variation in how the servo and linkage can be installed.
Install the motor and mount as described in the previous section.
You will have to trim the fuselage to allow for clearance of the
control linkage and servo.
 1. Install the pitch servo as shown. Take your time to
make sure the servo horn and linkage does not bind
against the fuselage. Also check that the linkage is not
being put under a load when connected. Use a hobby
knife to remove any portions of the fuselage that
cause binding. Use foam-compatible CA or hot glue
to secure the servo to the fuselage.
 2. Install the propeller using the instructions provided
with your motor or propeller system.
Note: If you are using a variable pitch propeller for your
Sobré, you should prepare the motor as instructed in the
instructions included with your propeller system.
 3. Check that the linkage for your variable pitch
prop unit can move freely without binding on the
fuselage. Trim away any material necessary if any
binding is noticed.
