Use the following instructions if you are installing a firewall-
mounted motor system (usually brushless motors).
❏
1. Cut the nose doublers free from their foam sheets
❏
2. Glue the doublers for the vertical fuselage into position first,
then glue the doublers for the horizontal fuselage into position.
❏
3. Use a 220-grit sanding block to sand the front of
the fuselage smooth. Be careful not to change the built-in
thrust angles.
❏
4. If installing an Electrifly RimFire motor, glue the included
3mm plywood firewall to the nose so that the two pilot holes
on the sides of the firewall are centered on the horizontal
fuselage, and the top hole is centered on the fuselage tube.
NOTE: If installing another brand of outrunner motor, you may
need to cut your own firewall to match its mount pattern. The
motor and firewall should be mounted so that the thrustline is
offset 9mm below the center of the fuselage tube.
❏
5. Mount the motor to the firewall using the hardware
supplied with your motor.
❏
6. Mount a propeller to the motor according to the
instructions that came with your motor.
❏
7. Install your ESC in the same manner as outlined in
steps 7-8 of the stick-mount installation section above.
