Install the Motor

The Eagle 580 EP has been designed to use the Great
Planes RimFire .32 (42-50-800kV) Out-runner Brushless
motor. If you will be installing a different motor, you may need
to modify the plywood motor box. We recommend that this be
done at this time.
❏
1. Install the RimFire motor using four 4-40 x 1/2" [13mm]
SHC screws, four #4 lock washers and four #4 fl at washers.
Before installing, apply a drop of threadlocker to the threads
of the SHC screws.
❏
2. Connect the ESC to the motor. The ESC can be attached
to the side of the motor box with self adhering hook and loop
material.

INSTALL THE RADIO SYSTEM

Install the Elevator Servo

❏
1. Cut the covering away from the lower opening on the
left side, in the rear of the fuselage for the elevator servo.
❏
2. Install a 24" [610mm] servo extension to the elevator
servo. Secure the extension to the lead with tape, a piece
of shrink tube or some other method to keep them from
coming unplugged.
❏
3. Install and then remove a servo mounting screw into
each of the holes. Apply a drop of thin CA into the holes to
harden the threads. Once the glue has hardened install the
servo into the servo opening. Place a black retaining plate
onto each of the servo mounting fl anges. Then screw the
servo to the wing using the hardware included with your servo.
Center the servo and then install a servo arm as shown.
