Four-Stroke Glow Engine Installation - GREAT PLANES Reactor Instruction Manual

❏
5. Attach the prop adapter with the screws included with
the motor. Be sure to use threadlocking compound.
❏
6. Loosen the screws that connect the two halves of the
motor mount together. Adjust the mount so that the front of
the prop adapter is 4-15/16" [125mm] from the firewall.
❏
7. When tightening the screws, be sure that you do not
inadvertently create any up or down thrust for the motor. The
motor should be parallel with the horizontal stabilizer (zero
degrees down thrust). Use an incidence meter to check the
thrust angle of the motor against the stab. If you do not have
an incidence meter, align the slots in the center of the two
motor mount halves when tightening the screws. Be sure to
use threadlocking compound.

8. Secure the ESC to the plane in the location shown and
connect it to the motor. You may need to use a scrap piece of
balsa to lower the ESC in order for it to fit part way through the
cooling hole cutout. We used foam servo tape (not included)
to secure the ESC. Note: The ESC shown may be different in
size and shape than the ESC suggested in this manual.

1. Cut out the mounting template from the back of this
manual. Align the mounting template over the vertical and
horizontal lines on the firewall and use clear tape to hold it in
place. If you are installing a two-stroke engine, position the
template over the lines on the firewall set at a 45 degree angle.
Push a sharp T-pin into each of the four mounting hole locations
on the template, marking their position on the firewall.
