Motor and Propeller Installation

1. Correctly align and connect the motor wire colors with the ESC wires.

2. Install the motor (A) with pre-installed X-mount (B) on the fuselage using 4

screws (C) and 4 lockwashers (D).

3. Install the collet (E), and back plate (F) on the motor shaft (G).

4. Install the cowling (H) on the fuselage using 2 screws (I).

5. Install the spinner back plate (J), propeller (K) and nut (L) on the collet. Use

a tool to tighten the nut.

IMPORTANT: The propeller size numbers (15 x 5.5) must face out from the
motor for correct propeller operation. Ensure the nut holds the propeller tightly
without damaging the propeller.

6. Install the spinner (M) on the collet using the screw (N).

Disassemble in reverse order. Not all wiring shown.

NOTICE: If the propeller is not balanced, the aircraft may vibrate, causing the
stabilization system to not operate correctly and/or decrease the life of the
servos.

Horizon Hobby does not warrant replacement if the servos are used under
extreme vibration or the stabilization system is used with an unbalanced
propeller.

For more information, view John Redman’s propeller balancing video at
www.horizonhobby.com.

Tip: We recommend removal of the propeller before any radio system
setup or transport of your aircraft.
