Use the following instructions if you are installing a
firewall-mounted motor system, such as the ElectriFly
RimFire outrunner.

1. If you have previously removed the nose section of the

bottom vertical fuselage, glue it back into place.

2. Cut the nose doublers from their foam sheets. Glue

the doublers for the vertical fuselage into position first, then
glue the doublers for the horizontal fuselage into position.

3. Use a 220-grit bar sander to lightly sand the front of

the fuselage even. Be careful not to change the built-in
thrust angles.

4. If installing an ElectriFly RimFire motor, glue the

included 3mm [1/8"] plywood firewall to the nose so that the
center hole is centered on the fuselage tube. Note: If
installing another brand of outrunner motor, you will need to
cut your own firewall to match its mount pattern. The motor
and firewall should be mounted so that the thrustline is
centered on the fuselage tube.

5. Mount the motor using the hardware and instructions

that came with your motor.

6. Mount the propeller using the hardware and instructions

that came with your motor.

7. Install your ESC as instructed in steps 7-8 of the stick-

mount installation section above.
