Motor Service
The Motor Service section of the manual is incorrect. Below are the updated
disassembly steps and exploded view of the propeller and spinner assembly.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the flight battery before performing motor
service.
Disassembly
- Remove screw (A) from spinner cone (B) to remove the spinner cone. Be careful not to lose the washer (C) from between the cone and propeller nut.
- Use a small hex driver inserted through the hole in the propeller nut to remove the nut (D).
- Remove the propeller and spinner backplate (E).
- Pull the cowl forward to disengage the magnets and remove the cowl.
- Remove the three hex screws to remove the prop adaptor (F) from the motor.
- Remove the four screws to remove the motor with the X-mount from the fuselage.
- Disconnect the motor wires from the ESC wires.
- Remove the four screws to remove the motor from the X-mount (G).
Assemble in reverse order. See below for propeller and spinner installation.
Propeller and Spinner Installation
- Slide the spinner backplate on the propeller adapter.
- Install the propeller on the propeller adapter, ensuring it aligns with the spinner backplate as shown, with the blades between the slots in the backplate, and the embossed propeller size numbers facing away from the backplate.
- Install the propeller nut on the propeller adapter, ensuring the propeller and backplate stay in correct alignment, tightening with a small hex driver inserted through the hole in the propeller nut.
- Insert the screw through the front of the spinner cone.
- Install the washer over the screw, inside the spinner cone.
- Install the spinner cone to the spinner backplate, ensuring the tabs in the spinner cone fully insert into the slots in the backplate, the washer remains on the screw, and the screw threads into the front of the propeller nut.
IMPORTANT: Do not install the spinner cone without the washer (C) between the cone and the propeller nut.
Bottom Wing Installation
Step 2 of the Installing the Wings section should read as follows:
- Secure the bottom wing with the single body clip.
IMPORTANT: The bottom wing mounting post is threaded into the fuselage and may need to be adjusted before the body clip can be installed.
