Apply a piece of double-sided foam tape to the back

side of your receiver and connect your servo and ESC leads

has fully cured, stick the receiver in place as shown.

If you are using a 72MHz radio, drill a 1/16" [1.6mm]

antenna and tape it in place.

With your throttle set to idle, turn on your

transmitter. Plug a LiPo battery into the ESC. Arm the motor
and throttle up very slowly. Check the direction of rotation of
the motor. If the motor is not turning counter-clockwise (as
viewed from the front), unplug the LiPo battery and switch the

position of any two of the three motor leads. Re-check the
motor rotation. Note: If you are using a Futaba radio system,
reverse your throttle channel before plugging in the LiPo
battery. Do not attach a propeller yet!
