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.
