IMPORTANT!
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS CAN
LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY TO YOUR-
SELF OR OTHERS, AND CAN RESULT IN PROPER-
TY DAMAGE.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
WHEN OPERATING THE MOTOR:
ALWAYS wear eye protection!
KEEP AWAY from spectators!
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN. DO NOT allow
children to operate without adult supervision.
PROPELLER must be properly installed to pre-
vent excessive RPMs.
MOTOR BATTERY SHOULD BE DISCON-
NECTED except when ready to fly or when nec-
essary for checking electrical operation and
maintenance.
OPERATE MOTOR ONLY WITH PROPELLER
INSTALLED.
BATTERY HAZARD!
The battery size used to power the Electra ARF motor
stores a lot of electrical energy. Be careful to prevent
shorting it out. A dead short can cause a powerful surge
of electrical current which can ruin your battery and gen-
erate enough heat to start a fire. It can also cause burns
to you and others.
The motor/battery system used to power the Electra
ARF is very powerful. To avoid injury, always disconnect
and remove the motor battery when you are not flying
the airplane.
PROPELLER HAZARD!
When switched on, the motor instantly reaches full
power and maximum propeller RPM. An electric motor
pulls more battery energy as its work load is increased.
This means, for example, that if the prop hits your
hand, it not only smacks you at high speed, it also
draws more battery power to overcome the added
load. Therefore, the impact force and injury are
increased. It is extremely important that you are aware
of these dangers and take precautions to prevent acci-
dentally switching on the motor. This is especially
important while working on the model or when storing
it. Always remove the battery when storing the model
and make sure it is kept away from children and any-
one else who is not familiar with its safe operation.
REMEMBER: ALWAYS DISCONNECT AND
REMOVE BATTERY WHEN WORKING ON THE
MODEL, TRANSPORTING, OR STORING IT. DO
NOT LEAVE THE BATTERY CONNECTED EXCEPT
WHEN FLYING!
1. Remove both wires from the back of the
motor.
Follow the instructions that came with your
particular speed control at this time.
The following steps are for 3 channel opera-
tion. This will allow you to control the motor till
the battery runs out of power. This also allevi-
ates the need for a separate receiver battery
pack.
We will be showing the installation of Great
Planes ElectriFly C-30 Mini ESC. Follow the
instructions that come with your speed control
to assure proper installation.
