9. Install the prop adapter shaft, prop adapter hub and
spinner backplate onto the motor shaft. Fit the propeller onto
the shaft and secure it with the prop washer and prop nut. Be
sure to adequately tighten the prop nut.
❏
10. Install the spinner cone onto the backplate using the
included screws.
❏
11. Apply a piece of the included self-adhesive hook and
loop material to the battery tray and a mating piece to your
fl ight battery. Test fi t the battery onto the battery tray. The exact
position of the battery on the tray will be determined when
you balance the plane. Depending on the battery you have
chosen, you may need to use a hobby knife to cut relief slots
in the sides of the fuselage for the battery wires.

Arming the ESC & Safe-Start Function
SAFE-START: As a safety precaution to prevent the motor from
rotating when the battery is fi rst connected, you must “arm”
the ESC every time you connect the battery. The propeller will
NOT rotate until the ESC is armed. ALWAYS take care to keep
the propeller clear of yourself, others or objects WHENEVER
the ESC is connected to the battery!
❏
1. Turn the transmitter’s power on.
❏
2. Move the throttle stick to the minimum or idle position
(towards you).
❏
3. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC. The motor
will beep once to confi rm the beginning of the arming routine.
❏
4. If the ESC emits continuous high pitched beeps when
the throttle is moved to the idle position, disconnect the ESC
from the battery, change the position of the throttle reversing
switch on the transmitter and repeat the arming procedure
starting with step 1.
❏
5. Move the throttle stick to full throttle (away from you).
The motor will again beep one time.
❏
6. Move the throttle stick back to the idle position (towards
you) and the motor will beep twice to confi rm the completion
of the arming routine. The ESC is now “armed”, and the motor
WILL ROTATE anytime the throttle stick is advanced beyond
the idle position.
Check the Control Directions
❏
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center the trims.
If necessary, remove the servo arms from the servos and
reposition them so they are centered. Reinstall the screws
that hold on the servo arms.
❏
2. With the transmitter and receiver still on, use a straight
edge as shown to check all the control surfaces to see if they
are centered.
