Mount The Receiver - GREAT PLANES Electrifly Rifle Instruction Manual

❏
5. Apply double-sided foam adhesive mounting tape or
the adhesive hook & loop material to the ESC so it can be
mounted inside the top of the fuselage.
❏
6. Drop the motor and ESC down into the fuselage so the
motor shaft comes out the hole in the middle of the motor
mount. Note that the motor is mounted with the wires on top
so the ESC can also be mounted in the top of the fuselage,
leaving room for the battery on the bottom of the fuselage.
You should be able to stick your pinkey fi nger through one of
the openings in the side of the fuselage to rotate the motor
so the threaded screw holes align with the mounting holes
in the mount.
❏
7. Mount the motor to the fi rewall with the 3mm screws
that came with the motor and a drop of threadlocker. Stick
the ESC to the top of the fuselage.
Do not mount the propeller until instructed to do so after the
control throws have been set.

Mount the Receiver

Refer to these two photos while mounting the receiver.
❏
1. Use the included, double-sided adhesive hook & loop
material or double-sided foam adhesive mounting tape to
mount the receiver to the bottom of the fuselage—mount it as
far aft as you can (making room for the antenna if necessary)
so it will not interfere with removal and installation of the
motor battery.
❏
2. If using a Futaba FASST receiver with dual antennas
(or another similar receiver with short antennas), use coarse
sandpaper to roughen the included 4" [100mm] antenna
tube so glue will adhere. Cut pieces from the tube to the
appropriate lengths and glue them to the inside of the
fuselage for securing the antennas.
❏
3. If using a 72MHz receiver that has a longer, "whip"
antenna, drill a small hole near the end of the fuselage
and guide the antenna down through the fuselage and out
the hole.
❏
4. While you're down inside the fuselage connect the
elevator servo wire and the ESC wire to the receiver. We
