3. Install the aluminum X-mount and prop adapter onto the
motor using the hardware included in the motor package and
thread locking compound. Attach the motor to the mounting
box using four 6-32 x 1/2" [13mm] machine screws, four #6
fl at washers and thread locking compound.
❏
4. Thread a 3x10mm self-tapping screw into each ESC
mounting hole in the underside of the motor mounting box
and back it out. Apply a drop or two of thin CA to each hole to
harden the surrounding wood. Install the ESC to the underside
of the mounting box using three 3x10mm self-tapping screws
and three 3mm fl at washers.
❏
5. Connect the ESC to the motor and route the receiver
wire through the fi rewall to the radio tray. Now would be a good
time to test the operation of the motor using your radio system.
The motor should rotate counter-clockwise when looking at
it from the front. If it rotates the wrong direction simply swap
two of the three motor leads. Use a tie strap (not included) or
tape to secure the motor lead wires to the motor mounting box.

6. Apply a thin coat of epoxy down the center of the battery
tray. This will improve the adhesion of the hook and loop
material. When the epoxy has completely cured, attach a
piece of the hook side from the included self-adhesive hook
and loop strap to the battery tray. The loop side should be
attached to your battery pack (use additional pieces to join
LiPo packs together for a series confi guration).
❏
7. Make two hook and loop straps approximately 10"
[254mm] long by overlapping the mating ends 1" [25mm] as
shown. Feed the straps through the slots in the battery tray.
