3. Slide the electronic speed control into the fuselage. Slide
the stick mount on the motor mount stick.
4. Use a drill and 1/16 in (1.5mm) drill bit to drill a
pilot hole for the screw into the motor stick. Use the
1.5mm x 10mm sheet metal screw to secure the mount
to the stick.
5. Check the operation of the motor using the radio
system. The motor should rotate counterclockwise when
viewed from the front. Follow the instructions included with
the speed control if necessary to reverse the direction of
rotation of the motor. Secure the speed control inside the
fuselage using hook and loop tape.
Note: Never check the motor rotation on the bench
with the propeller installed. The plane could move and
cause serious injury. Always check the motor without the
propeller to avoid injury.
6. Tape four pieces of cardstock onto the fuselage (two on
each side of the fuselage) to indicate the locations of the
hard points inside the fuselage for mounting the cowling.
