4 . Carefully cut through the side of the fuselage
and mount your receiver switch as shown.
Plug the switch into the receiver as shown in
your radio instructions.
Wrap the receiver and the battery pack in foam
and place in the nose. Plug the battery into the
switch.
Installing Motor Switch
Note: We recommend that you use a electric
speed control for your electra. You will get
better performance and have more control
over the airplane while flying.
1. Your Electra ARF comes with a 20 amp fuse in
the wire that runs from the battery plug and the
motor. This fuse will prevent the motor from
being damaged by any obstruction that might
stop the propeller from turning.
The following steps are for 2 channel opera-
tion. This will allow you to run the motor till the
battery runs out of power.
2. Slide the motor wires from the front through
the forward former.
Press the motor down into the motor tray.
Wrap 2 rubber bands around the motor.
3. Drill a hole into the side of the fuselage and
mount the motor switch.
NOTE: If you will launch the plane using your right
hand, mount the motor switch on the left
side of the fuselage.
The motor system is designed with a safety fuse to pro-
tect the system from excessive motor loads. During
motor operation, if the propeller should hit an object, the
sudden surge of battery current will blow the fuse and
prevent motor/battery burn out or other damage. Use
only a 15 or 20 AMPfuse to connect the fuse terminals.
DO NOT BY-PASS THE FUSE or directly connect the
terminals together. If using another brand of motor,
make sure it is equipped with a fuse. If it isn’t, ask your
hobby dealer how to install one. DO NOT OPERATE
YOUR ELECTRA MOTOR SYSTEM WITHOUT A
FUSE!
Operate motor ONLY with propeller securely installed.
Without propeller, the motor may “over-rev” and be per-
manently damaged.
Make sure that the amount of movement you
have for both the elevator and the rudder does
not exceed the following measurements for the
first flight.
Elevator 5/16” up and down
Rudder 1” right and left
