E-flite Divo 3D Profile Assembly Manual

Important: The amount of right thrust is specifically

designed into the airframe for indoor competition flight.

If you will be flying your Divo indoors and out, we

recommend that you reduce the amount of thrust to 2 to

3 degrees. To do this with the wooden firewall and Park

300 motor, just add one to two washers to the right side

of the motor between the firewall and the motor.

Motor Installation (Cyclon)

Required Parts

Assembled airframe

Carbon tube

Motor w/hardware

Required Tools and Adhesives

Small round file

6-minute epoxy

1. Sand the carbon tube on the outside. This will give

a good bond to the epoxy.

Note: If you plan on flying very aggressive 3D flight, use

a small screw to hold the motor to the tube along with

the epoxy. We used a spare servo arm screw from an

E-flite S60 servo. It will be easier to slide the tube on the

motor and pre-drill the hole through both the tube and the

motor before you mount it to the fuselage. Use a pin vise

to drill the hole. Be careful and drill through the carbon

tube slowly or it may split. When you are done drilling

through both, remove the motor from the tube and drill

the carbon tube out so the hole is slightly bigger than

the screw you are using. This will prevent the tube from

splitting when you mount the motor.
