o 10. If the ESC you are using has mounting tabs, the ESC
can be screwed in place onto the tray as shown. If not, use
self-adhesive hook and loop material (not included) and
rubber bands or tie straps to secure it to the tray. Apply a
coating of epoxy to the underside of the ESC tray. The epoxy
will improve the adhesion of the hook and loop material.
When the epoxy has cured completely, attach your ESC to the
underside of the ESC tray with self-adhesive hook and loop
material. Depending on the size of the ESC you are using,
it can be properly secured to the tray using a rubber band
or the included 8" [200mm] tie straps. Be certain the ESC is
securely mounted
before the motor is rlun and flown.
o 11. Insert a 4-40 blind nut into each of the four blind nut
spacers. Attach the ESC tray to the aluminum brushless
mount using four 4-40 x 3/4" [19mm] machine screws, four
#4 flat washers and
threadlocking compound. The screws
should pass through the ESC tray side pieces, through a
set of unused holes in the aluminum motor mount and into
the blind nuts in the mounting plates. If the aluminum blocks
used to hold the two aluminum motor mount halves together
interfere with the plywood ESC mounting plates, you may
need to remove the screws holding the mount halves together
and move the aluminum blocks further away from the center.
If necessary, install a 12" [305mm] servo extension to the
ESC and secure it with heat shrink tubing. Connect the motor
leads to the ESC. Now would be a good time to confirm the
correct rotation of the motor using the radio system.
DO NOT
INSTALL A PROPELLER ONTO THE MOTOR AT THIS
TIME! See the ESC manual for operating instructions. If
the motor rotates in the wrong direction, simply unhook any
two motor lead wires and swap their position. The motor
should rotate counterclockwise when looking at it from the
front. Be sure the motor leads are secured out of the way
from the motor.
