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.
