E-flite Extra 300 32e ARF Assembly Manual

2. The cowling is secured using two (2) 4-40 x

1-inch socket head screws and two (2) #4 washers.

You will need to use a ball driver to tighten these

screws. The ball driver will allow you to access the

screws at an angle so they can be tightened.

3. Slide the spinner adapter and backplate on the

motor. Leave a gap of 3/32-inch to 1/8-inch (2.5

to 3mm) between the cowl and backplate.

Always a good idea to balance your propeller.

An unbalanced propeller can cause vibrations

to be transmitted into the airframe which could

damage the airframe or other components as well

as produce unwanted flight characteristics.

4. Slide the propeller on the adapter. It may be

necessary to enlarge the hole in the propeller so it

fits over the adapter.

5. Slide the propeller washer on the adapter, then

thread the nut in position. Use a 10mm box wrench

or open end wrench to tighten the propeller nut.

Do not use pliers as pliers will eventually round the

corners of the nut.

6. Install the spinner cone. Position the spinner cone

so it doesn’t contact the propeller as shown. Secure

the spinner cone using the screw provided with the

spinner and a 3/32-inch hex wrench or ball driver.
