13 E-flite S.E.5a Slow Flyer ARF Assembly Manual
Important Information About Your Brushless ESC
Make sure your ESC brake is programmed to Off. Also,
be sure to use an ESC with the proper low-voltage cutoff
and it is set correctly for the batteries you are using.
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.
 16. Turn on the transmitter and bring the throttle trim
and stick to the low throttle position. Plug the battery into
the speed control and check the operation of the motor.
It should rotate counterclockwise when viewed from the
front of the aircraft. Use the instructions provided with
your ESC to make corrections to the direction of rotation
of the motor if necessary.
Note: If the motor rubs on the cowl, enlarge the hole
in the cowl for the motor so the motor does not rub
the cowl.
Wing Installation
Required Parts
• Wing (top and bottom) • Outer strut (2)
• Cabane strut (2)
• #2 x 5/8-inch sheet metal screw (12)
Required Tools and Adhesives
• Foam-safe CA • Ruler
• Hobby knife • Felt-tipped pen
• Pin drill • Drill bit: 1/16-inch (1.5mm)
• Phillips screwdriver: #1 • Sandpaper
 1. Attach the cabane struts to the sides of the fuselage
using two #2 x 5/8-inch sheet metal screws and a
#1 Phillips screwdriver. Check that both struts are
positioned the same by measuring from the wing
saddle for the bottom wing to the mounts for the top
wing. If both sides do not match, simply use a hobby
knife to oval the mounting holes are necessary to realign
the struts to match. Use a pin drill to open up the rigging
holes at the top of the struts if they have been sealed with
clear coat.
