it into position with four to six drops of medium CA. Note that,
if ever the motor requires removal, the tail cone will have to
be broken free from the fan housing. This should not prove to
be diffi cult as long as it was just tack-glued into place.

9. Connect the three motor extension wires to the motor
wires coming from the motor and guide them down through
the hole in the bottom half of the fan duct while simultaneously
keying the fan housing into position. Secure the housing to
the duct with the two small Phillips-head screws.

Test Run the Motor

Before mounting the fan cone and proceeding with the rest
of assembly, test-run the motor to make sure everything is
working properly. You'll need your transmitter, receiver, ESC
and battery again.
❏
1. If you haven't yet done so, charge your motor battery
following the instructions, warnings and cautions included
with the battery and charger.
❏
2. Temporarily connect the three motor wires coming from
the ESC to the three motor extension wires coming from
the motor. Connect the ESC to the throttle channel in the
receiver (channel 3 for Futaba).
❏
3. Turn on your transmitter. If using the ElectriFly SS-25
ESC set the throttle servo direction in your transmitter to
"reverse" (this is channel 3 for Futaba).
❏
4. Be certain the throttle stick on your transmitter is all the
way down. Connect the battery to the ESC. With the top of the
fan duct in position, hold the unit in one hand and advance
the throttle stick just enough to get the motor to turn. Make
certain the motor is turning in the correct direction by checking
to see that air is blowing out the back of the fan. If the fan is
turning the wrong way, disconnect the battery and swap any
two of the three motor wires with each other. With the throttle
stick all the way down, re connect the battery and operate the
motor to confi rm that it is turning in the correct direction.
