8 E-flite Rhapsody 25e ARF Assembly Manual

 4. The tabs on the cowl have markings so the

cowl can be oriented on the firewall. The L and R

indicate the left and right as viewed as if sitting in

the cockpit.

Note: We used the following colors when

painting the engine: Make sure to paint the

motor before gluing it in the cowling.

Rocker Shafts – Aluminum

Engine Cylinders – Black

Plug Wires – Yellow

Center Crankcase – Light Gray

 5. (Optional) Use a hobby knife and rotary tool to

remove the area in the center of the dummy radial

engine. Use a hobby knife to remove the area

between each of the cylinders to allow cooling air

to pass through the cowling and over the motor.

Use 6-minute epoxy to glue the dummy radial

engine inside the cowling. Use the following colors

to paint the dummy radial engine.

 6. Route the motor leads through the firewall and

into the fuselage. Use four 4-40 x 3/8-inch socket

head screws and four #4 washers to attach the

cowl to the firewall. Use a 3/32-inch ball driver to

tighten the screws. The R for the right side of the

cowl can be seen in the photo below.

Matching the colors between the ESC and motor

when they are connected results in the correct

motor direction if using all E-flite components.

 7. Connect the leads from the motor to the speed

control. Use hook and loop tape to secure the

speed control in the fuselage. Mount the speed

control switch in the fuselage using the hardware

provided with the speed control.

 8. Insert the hook and loop straps through the battery

tray as shown. The battery will be installed later in

the manual after the wings have been installed, but

installing the strap now will be much easier. Apply

a strip of hook and loop tape on the battery tray to

keep the battery from sliding fore or aft on the tray.
