Removing the Propeller, Propeller Shaft or a Motor.
1. Hold prop shaft (C) using needle-nose pliers or hemostats.
2. Remove the propeller (B) by turning it counterclockwise (looking from front of model) on
the threaded shaft. When you can reach the gear on the shaft, hold the gear and turn the
propeller to remove the propeller.
3. Carefully remove glued (foam-safe CA) spinnner (A) from propeller. You may need to cut
glue and foam from the propeller.
4. Hold the nut (D) on the shaft using needle-nose pliers or hemostats.
5. Turn shaft clockwise (looking from front of model) to remove the nut and washer.
6. Gently pull shaft from gearbox. Make sure washer and 2 bushings are not lost when
shaft is removed from gearbox.
7. Remove glued (foam-safe CA) gearbox from nacelle.
8. Remove motor from gearbox.
Installation
1. Reverse instructions above for installation.
Note: At installation, carefully align gear on shaft with pinion gear on motor.
Note: Install correct propeller (EFLUP110803B (left) or EFLUP110803BR (right)) on each side.
Install correct spinners marked left (L) and right (R) on propellers.
Note: Numbers on the propeller must face out from nacelle for correct propeller operation.
When looking from the front, the left propeller turns clockwise and the right turns
counterclockwise. When propellers do not turn correctly, reverse the polarity of the motor plugs
on the Receiver/ESC board.
Removing and Installing Landing Gear
Removal: Hold both sides of wire loop above wheel. Pull loop
fully out of the nacelle slot.
Installation: Make sure loop angle points to model’s nose. Hold
both sides of wire loop above wheel. Carefully push open loop in
nacelle slot. Make both wheels even with each other.
Note: Landing gear can easily be removed for hand-launching
and landing on grass. When fl ying without landing gear, avoid
landing on concrete or pavement.
