E-flite Shoestring 15e ARF Assembly Manual

4. Loop a tie-wrap (not included) through the plate

in the fuselage right above the landing gear plate.

Make sure the tie-wrap is not looped through the

battery mounting plate.

5. Slide the speed control into the fuselage with

the battery wires, receiver lead and switch going

in and through the tie-wrap. Position the speed

control, then tighten the tie-wrap to secure the

speed control in the fuselage. The heat sink will

face the top of the fuselage.

Matching the colors between the ESC and motor

when they are connected results in the correct

motor direction if using all E-flite components.

6. Connect the wires from the motor to the wires

of the speed control. Use a tie-wrap (not included)

to secure the leads so they don’t interfere with the

operation of the motor or installation of the cowling.

7. Route the battery lead through the opening in the

fuselage. The lead for the receiver is routed under

the battery tray and receiver, then plugged into the

throttle channel of the receiver. Mount the switch

from the speed control in the fuselage where it can

be accessed when the canopy is removed.

9. Secure the battery in the fuselage using a hook

and loop strap. Also, place hook and loop tape on

the battery and fuselage where they contact each

other to prevent the battery from moving.
