Required Tools and Adhesives

Phillips screwdriver: #1

Hex wrench: 2.5mm

Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners

to prevent them from vibrating loose.

 1. Attach the X-mount to the motor using the

hardware included with the motor and a #1

Phillips screwdriver

 2. Secure the motor to the firewall using the four

18mm aluminum motor standoffs, four 3mm x

30mm socket head cap screws, four 3mm washers

and four 3mm lock washers. Use a 2.5mm hex

wrench to tighten the screws. Make sure to use

threadlock on these screws as well to prevent them

from vibrating loose.

 3. Place the speed control in the fuselage. It will fit

between the side and sub-side of the fuselage as

shown. Pass the leads for the motor through the

opening at the top of the firewall as shown in the

following step. Use two-sided tape to secure the speed

control in the fuselage.

Matching the colors between the ESC and motor

when they are connected results in the correct

motor direction if using all E-flite components.

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

control. Once connected, tuck the leads back in the

fuselage to prevent them from interfering with the

operation of the motor.

 5. Plug the lead from the speed control into the throttle

port of the receiver at this time.
