Mount the motor – Great Planes Yak-54 EP 3D ARF - GPMA1542 User Manual

Page 15

The Yak 54 EP ARF includes motor mount parts for both the
Great Planes brushless C35-30-950 out-runner motor and
the brushless B24-33-4040 in-runner equipped with the
Great Planes 24mm gear drive. Other motors may be able to
be installed; however, modification to one of the mounting
box firewalls would be necessary to suit the size and mount
pattern of your equipment.

❏

1. Locate the four pieces that make up the motor

mounting box. Attach the front piece to the motor gearbox
using three 3mm x 6mm machine screws (included with
gearbox), three 3mm washers, and thread-locking
compound. Assemble the box as shown with medium CA
glue (the longer side piece being on the left of the box). The
front piece is installed in the forward slots.

❏

2. Slide the assembly over the box already attached to the

fuselage. Trace around the motor onto the fuselage. This area
will need to be cut away in order for the motor to fit through.

❏

3. When satisfied, thoroughly glue the mounting box

assembly to the fuselage, being sure that the box is flat
against the fuselage firewall.
