from the nose of the motor and reinstall it using thread
locking compound.

screws that came with your motor and install the supplied
Y-mount as shown.

Install the motor to the fuselage using three 3 x 30mm

[1-3/16"] machine screws, nine 3mm fl at washers, and
three 19mm [3/4"] aluminum standoff tubes. Apply thread
locking compound to the screw threads and fi t the motor so
that the wires are routed as shown. Use the photo above to
help you stack the washers.

4.

Install three 3.5mm male/2mm female bullet connector

adapters onto the ESC motor leads (GPMM3122). Cut a
25mm piece of double-sided foam tape and apply it to the
back side of the ESC.

5.

Apply a thin layer of 6-minute epoxy or medium CA to

the upper right side of the fuselage as shown. Allow the glue
to fully cure. Note: Use this method to help stick double-sided
foam tape or hook and loop fastener material to wood parts.
