12. Lightly sand the edge of each blade on the stator
extension to remove any fl ashing and to make sure they are
even with the fan housing.
❏
13. Use medium-grit sandpaper to smooth the rough
edges around the motor wire hole in the fi berglass tail cone
adapter so it won’t damage the motor wires.
❏
14. Test fi t but do not glue the cone adapter to the rear of the
fan housing. Note that the hole in the housing should be 180°
from the side of the motor where the wires exit—this will be the
top of the unit. Once you have the housing and adapter mated
correctly, permanently glue the two together by adding a few
drops of thin CA to the seam around the outside. Also apply a
few drops of medium CA to each stator blade where it contacts
the inside of the adapter. Note: Apply the CA sparingly and
with care. Otherwise it will run all over the place.
❏
15. Fit, then use thin
CA to glue the included
vacuum-formed
front
housing fl ange into the
front of the fan unit. Make
sure the cutout for the
motor wires is also on the
top of the unit (aligned
with the wire hole in the
cone adapter).
❏
16. Curve the motor wires upward toward the hole in the
top of the cone adapter. Then guide the included motor wire
extensions through the hole and connect them to the motor.
❏
17. Install the fan rotor onto the motor noting the orientation
you marked earlier (for minimal run out)—be certain to use a
small drop of threadlocker on the 3mm screw.
Test Run the Motor/Fan Unit
❏
1. You may perform either a brief test-run of the motor/fan
unit, or do the complete break-in procedure as described on
the back cover of the HyperFlow instruction manual. In either
case prepare to run the motor by connecting the ESC to
your receiver and to the motor wires coming from the motor.
Reverse the throttle channel in your transmitter and turn on
the transmitter. Connect your motor battery to the ESC.
❏
2. Follow all the precautions and run the motor at no more
than 1/4 throttle as described by the “PREPARE TO RUN
THE FAN” instructions on the back cover of the HyperFlow
fan instructions. (If the motor is turning backwards switch any
two of the motor wires with each other.) Check for vibration
and/or unusual noises and do not proceed until resolving
any problems.
❏
3. Continue with the rest of the break-in procedure until
the system is fully broken-in, or if you’re satisfi ed with the
way the unit is performing stop now and mount the unit in
the fuselage as described in the next section. Be certain to
complete the break-in procedure before fl ying your Evader
for the fi rst time.
