E-flite Twist 3D 480 ARF Assembly Manual
3. Install the M3 blind nuts by using an M3 x 10
socket head bolt and M3 washer. Use a 2.5mm
hex wrench to tighten the bolt, drawing the prongs
of the blind nut into the back side of the firewall.
Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners
to prevent them from vibrating loose.
4. Secure the motor to the firewall using four M3
x 10 socket head bolts, four M3 washers and four
M3 lock washers. Tighten the bolts using a 2.5mm
hex wrench.
If using all E-flite components, match the
wire colors between the ESC and motor
to ensure correct motor direction.
5. Connect the leads from the motor to the leads
from the speed control. Cut a small piece of hook
and loop tape to secure the speed control inside
the fuselage as shown. Neatly tuck the motor leads
so the battery can be installed. Route the lead to
the receiver under the battery tray so it can be
retrieved when installing the receiver.
6. Route the lead from the speed control through
the fuselage and plug it into the throttle channel of
the receiver. Cut a small section of hook and loop
tape to secure the receiver in the fuselage. Set the
receiver back from the wing tube so the aileron
servo leads can be inserted into the fuselage
without interference from the receiver.
7. Apply a piece of hook and loop tape to the
battery tray. Insert the hook and loop strap through
the slot in the battery tray. Make sure not to get the
motor and receiver leads inside the straps as they
may come accidentally disconnected when you
strap down the battery.
