 Step 6
Use a drill and 11/64-inch (4.5mm) drill bit to enlarge the
mounting holes in the X-mount. It is highly recommended
to use a drill press as the X-mount can easily be pulled from
your hand if using a hand drill.

Step 7
Apply a drop of threadlock on each of the screws used
to attach the X-mount to the motor. Use a #1 Phillips
screwdriver to secure the mount to the motor.
 Step 8
Use four 8-32 x 3/4-inch socket head screws to attach
the motor to the motor standoffs. Remember to use
threadlock on the screws so they don’t vibrate loose. The
wires from the motor will go into the fuselage through the
large hole in the firewall.
 Step 9
Prepare the speed control with the necessary connectors
to connect it to your choice of battery and motor. Follow
the instructions provided with the speed control to
complete this step.
 Step 10
Place a piece of hook and loop tape on the bottom of the
speed control. Leave the backing on the mating piece of tape
until instructed to remove.
 Step 11
Connect the leads from the motor to the speed control. If
you are using E-flite components, the colors will match
from the speed control and motor. If you are using other
components you may need to change the motor wires later
when checking the operation of the motor.
