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.
