Installing the Propeller and Spinner

1. Slide collet onto motor shaft.

2. Slide spinner backplate followed by the propeller

onto the collet shaft.

3. Thread aluminum hex nut onto threaded collet and

tighten securely.

4. Install spinner making sure it is keyed into the

spinner backplate and using a Phillips screwdriver

install the 3mm x 10mm screw. Take care to center

the propeller blades in the cutouts of the 3-bladed

spinner, without allowing any of the blades to contact

the spinner.

Note: Another available option is the 2-bladed spinner

(PKZ4908). The included motor has a low Kv that was

engineered to match the included 3-bladed propeller. If

a two-bladed propeller is used with the stock motor, we

suggest using a 12 x 12 electric propeller. In addition,

the E-flite Apprentice motor is a higher Kv and is a drop-

in fit for the stock Bf-109G motor.

Warning: Use of the 3-bladed prop with the Apprentice

motor will result in excess current and likely damage

the motor.

Step 6

Range Checking your Radio System
After you have finished the final assembly, it is time to

range check the radio system within the Bf-109G PNP.

Prior to each flying session

• Turn on the transmitter prior to plugging in the flight

battery. With the airplane on the ground and motor

running, you should walk away approximately 100

feet and still have full control of all functions while

following the specific range test feature of your

transmitter. If this is not the case, do not fly! Call

the Horizon Support Team at 1-877-504-0233.

• Always make sure that all controls are functioning per

the transmitter input that you are giving. This includes

ailerons, rudder, elevator and throttle.

• Always make sure you have fully charged the

transmitter batteries.

Always remove the flight battery from the

airplane when you are done flying, or when you

are on the way to the flying field.
