Motor and Speed Controller Installation

Required Parts

Fuselage assembly Motor with hardware
Speed control

Hook and loop tape

Radio system

Battery

3mm x 15mm socket head screw (4)
Motor standoff, 3/8-inch (5mm)

Required Tools and Adhesives

Phillips screwdriver: #1

Threadlock

Hex wrench or ball driver: 2.5mm

Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners

to prevent them from vibrating loose.

1. Attach the X-mount to the motor using the

screws provided with the motor and a #1 Phillips

screwdriver.

2. Attach the motor to the firewall using four 3mm

x 15mm socket head screws. Use a 2.5mm hex

wrench or ball driver to tighten the screws. Note

the different position of the mount in relationship to

the firewall for the Power 25 and Power 32.

When attaching the Power 32, you will need to

use the four 3/8-inch (5mm) standoffs between the

mount and firewall to set the correct motor spacing.

Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners

to prevent them from vibrating loose.

3. Insert the wires for the motor from the speed

control through the hole in the right-hand side of

the fuselage as shown.

4. The motor wires will exit the hole near the motor

box. Connect the wires from the motor to the wires

from the speed control.

If you use all E-flite components in the

power system, you can connect the ESC and

motor wires by matching the colors and the

motor will spin in the correct direction.
