Expect extreme awesome power and performance with higher speeds compared to using a 12x6 propeller. There is plenty of thrust for hovering and good
vertical performance. Punch outs are not a problem and this setup has an exceptionally quiet and smooth sounding flight. Average duration is approximately 8-
12 minutes depending on throttle management.

Operating Instructions:
1.
This brushless motor requires the use of a sensorless brushless speed control. Failure to use the correct speed control may result in damage to the
motor and/or speed control.
2.
When mounting the motor, be sure the correct length of screws are used so damage to the inside of the motor will not occur. We suggest you use the
mounting hardware included with your motor. The use of long screws will damage the motor.
3.
You may connect the three motor wires directly to the controller with solder or use connectors such as gold plated brushless bullet connectors
(EFLA241), which will also need to be soldered properly to your wires. The three motor wires can be connected in any order to the three output wires
or output port on a sensorless brushless speed control. Be sure to use heat shrink tubing to properly insulate the wires so the wires will not short.
Shorting may damage the motor and speed control.
4.
If you add connectors and you no longer wish to use them, never cut the motor wires. Remove them by properly desoldering them. Shortening the
motor wires is considered an improper modification of the motor and may cause the motor to fail.
5.
When you connect the motor to the esc, check the rotation direction of the motor. If you find the rotation is reversed, switching any two motor wires
will reverse the direction so the motor rotates properly.
6.
Proper cooling of the motor is very important during operation. New technology has brought much higher capacity batteries with higher discharge
rates, which can cause extreme motor temperatures during operation. It is the responsibility of the user to monitor the temperature and prevent
overheating. Overheating of the motor is not covered under any warranty.
7.
You can install the propeller on the motor shaft after you have confirmed proper rotation direction. Also consult the instruction included with your
sensorless electronic speed control for proper adjustments and timing.
8.
Once the battery is connected to the motor, please use extreme caution. Stay clear of the rotating propeller since spinning propellers are very
dangerous as the motors produce high amounts of torque.
9.
Never disassemble the motor. This will void any warranty.
Reversing Shaft Installation
This Outrunner motor has a shaft, which exits through the rotating part of the motor. If you want to reverse the shaft to exit through the fixed part of the motor,
follow these instructions carefully for changing the shaft installation.
1.
Loosen the set screw on the shaft collar and remove the collar from its location against the bearing.
2.
Remove the small black donut washer that rests against the bearing.
3.
Loosen the set screw in the rotating part of the motor.
4.
Slide the shaft through the motor. It may be necessary to use a small hammer to only lightly tap the shaft. It is very important that you do not bend the
shaft in this process so use extreme caution to assure this does not happen.
5.
Re-install the donut washer against the bearing.
6.
Re-install the shaft collar back against the washer and bearing.
7.
Retighten all setscrews after applying a small drop of blue thread lock to the set screws. Make sure you line up with the flat spot on the shaft.
Replacement shafts are available separately. Order EFLM1501 for a Park 480 BL Outrunner shaft.
Installation:
NOTE: Photo shows typical installation of motor and x-mount directly to the outside of the firewall. There are other options available including mounting the
motor inside the fuselage (requires reversing the shaft direction) or extending the motor further forward using aftermarket mount extensions when using cowls.
