Assembly

Assemble the aircraft using the instructions

• Correctly align the prop shaft gear with the

pinion gear on the motor.

• Correctly connect the motor to the ESC/receiver

so that the powered motor turns the propeller
clockwise (looking from front of model). Make
sure the propeller size numbers (100 x 100) face
away from the motor (see illustration).
