5. Use hinge tape to secure the radio cover to the bottom

of the fuselage. Allow the leads for the battery and speed

control to exit the cover so they can be manipulated

easily without removing the cover.

6. Turn on the radio system and plug the battery into the

speed control. Use the throttle to check that the motor

rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the front. If

not, follow the directions included with your speed control

to change the direction of the motor rotation.

Note: 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.

Important Information About Your Propeller

It is also very important to check to be sure the

propeller is balanced before installing onto the shaft. An

unbalanced propeller may cause poor performance with

the power system.

Note: If it is necessary to enlarge the hole in the

propeller, make sure to check the balance of the

propeller afterwards.

7. Attach the propeller to the motor following the

instructions provided with the motor.
