4. If using the RimFire motor, mount the prop saver
adapter that came with the motor. Install the propeller using
the O-ring provided with the motor.
❏
5. Connect your speed control to the motor and receiver.
Mount the speed control to the bottom of the left horizontal
fuselage with double-sided foam tape. Cut a small hole for
the ESC’s battery wire to cross to the bottom right side of
the fuselage.
❏
6. Install the “hook” side of the included hook-and-loop
material to the right side of the fuselage where shown. This
is where you will mount the battery.
❏
7. Attach the “loop” side of the hook-and-loop material to
the battery. Mount the battery to the fuselage.
❏
8. Drill two 1.5 mm [1/16"] holes through the fuselage where
shown. “Stitch” the receiver antenna through these holes.
For safety, remove the propeller while performing bench
setup. Once you have finished setting up your airplane, you
can reinstall it.
❏
1. Lower the throttle stick all the way and turn on the
transmitter. Connect your battery to the ESC. If the ESC has
a BEC switch, turn it on.
❏
2. Check all the control surfaces to see if they are
centered. Since you set the center points as you set up the
linkages, they should already be very close. Use the trims on
the transmitter to center the controls.
❏
3. Make certain that the control surfaces and the motor
respond in the correct direction as shown in the diagram. To
operate the motor, you may have to “arm” your ESC. Follow
the instructions that came with your ESC to do this. If any of
the controls responds in the wrong direction, use the servo
reversing in the transmitter to reverse the servos connected
to those controls. Be certain the control surfaces have
remained centered. Adjust if necessary.
