 4. Connect the leads from the motor to the motor
leads on the speed control.
Matching the colors between the ESC and motor
when they are connected results in the correct
motor direction if using all E-flite components.
 5. Use scissors to cut a 1 1 /
2
-inch (38mm) piece of
hook and loop tape. Remove the backing and apply
the tape to the speed control.
 6. Insert the speed control into the opening in the
front of the fuselage. Use the hook and loop tape to
secure the speed control inside the fuselage.
 7. Using the motor battery, receiver and transmitter,
check the operation of the motor. If connected
correctly, it will spin counterclockwise when viewed
from the front of the fuselage. If not, reverse any
two wires between the motor and speed control
to correct the direction of rotation of the motor.
Disconnect the receiver and turn off the transmitter
and receiver and set them aside.
 8. Cut four 1/2 x 2-inch (13mm x 52mm) pieces of
card stock. Use low-tack tape to tape the card stock
on the fuselage to locate the cowl mounting blocks.
 9. Slide the cowl in position on the front of the
fuselage. Make sure the card stock is on the outside
of the cowl.
 10. Slide the propeller adapter in position on
the motor shaft. Slide the cowl rearward so the
propeller adapter can rotate without rubbing on
the cowl. Align the cowl so the propeller adapter is
centered in the opening. Use low-tack tape to hold
the cowl on the fuselage.
