2. Attach your motor to the firewall using four

4-40 x 1/2-inch socket head screws and four

#4 washers. Tighten the screws using a 3/32-

inch ball driver or hex wrench. Make sure to use

threadlock on the four screws to prevent them from

vibrating loose.

The blind nuts in the fuselage for mounting the motor

can be positioned for a variety of motors. Position the

blind nuts so they are aligned with your particular

motor before mounting the motor to the firewall.

3. Connect the leads from the motor and speed

control at this time.

4. Check the operation of the motor at this time.

It should rotate counterclockwise when viewed

from the front of the aircraft. If not, follow the

instructions provided with your speed control to

correct the situation.

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.
