the front) to remove the old propeller.

3. Thread the new 100mm x 60mm prop and spinner clock-

wise onto the gearbox shaft.

You may find that you need to replace the prop shaft in the

1. To remove prop shaft, open the fuselage by cutting

through the decal on one side of the fuselage. Remove the

plastic dummy engine by gently pulling off the fuselage.

prop shaft to prevent it from turning.

3. While holding the nylon nut, rotate the spur gear in a

clockwise direction. The prop shaft will thread out of

the nut.
