Warnings Before Motor System Installation

• The power system you are just about to install is very

high power and it needs to be handled carefully to avoid
serious injury. Both the Brushless motor installation and
the Brushed motor installations are capable of
producing injury at any throttle setting.

• Make sure when doing these installations that the radio

system is set to the lowest throttle setting at all times.

• Do not plug in the motor battery to the motor ESC at any

point until directed to do so.

• Under no circumstances should the radio system in the

airplane be switched on before the transmitter is
switched on.

• Do not plug the battery in the airplane to the ESC until the

transmitter is on and transmitting and throttle is at idle.

• Never stand or have any part of your body near the

propeller when the motor battery is connected.

• Watch out for loose clothing or other objects in the path

of the propeller.

• Securely hold the model when testing the motor.
• Always test the motor outdoors. Never turn on the

motor indoors.

Exercise extreme caution when handling the model

with the propeller on.
