E-flite Twist 3D 480 ARF Assembly Manual

8. Apply the matching hook and loop tape from

step 5 to the bottom of the battery. This will keep

the battery from moving forward or aft in the

fuselage. Use the hook and loop strap to secure the

battery to the battery tray.

9. Turn on the transmitter. Connect the battery

to the power lead of the speed control. Check

the rotation of the motor to make sure it rotates

counterclockwise when viewed from the front of the

fuselage. If not, swap any two of the motor leads to

correct the direction of rotation.

Always balance your propeller. An unbalanced

propeller can cause vibrations to be transmitted

into the airframe, which could damage the

airframe or other components, as well as

produce unwanted flight characteristics.

10. Use the propeller adapter to secure the

propeller to the motor. Slide a 2.5mm hex wrench

through the hole in the adapter to tighten it,

securing the propeller.

1. Slide the carbon fiber wing tube into the socket

in the wing panel. The socket has a cap on it, so

do not force the wing tube in the wing any farther

than it will easily slide.

2. Slide the tube into the socket in the fuselage.

Make sure to guide the lead for the aileron servo in

the fuselage when positioning the wing.
