Trim Lever: A sliding lever on the transmitter that
allows you make small adjustments to the control sur-
faces from the transmitter.
Vertical Stabilizer: Mounted on the rear of the air-
plane, it works with the rudder to turn the airplane.
It also gives the airplane vertical stability.
Wing Hold Down Dowel: A length of hardwood
dowel inserted through the fuselage at the front and
back of the wing. It is an anchor for the rubber bands
that hold the wing onto the fuselage.
Wing Saddle: The portion of the fuselage where the
wing mounts on to.
Z-Bend: This is a special bend made in the pushrod
wire. While it cannot improve your ability to make
adjustments, the Z-Bend is the most secure way to
attach the pushrod wire to the servo horn.
The motor that is included with the Thermal-Air
EP is pretty much maintenance-free. There are a
couple of things you can do though, both to prevent
premature wear and to ensure you're getting the most
from the motor.
Like all electric motors, after hours of running
they accumulate dust, dirt and grime. If too much of
this builds up, it can quickly lead to performance loss
and cause premature wear. Following the simple steps
listed below will help you get the most out of your
Thermal-Air EP's motor.
❑
1) Remove the spinner, folding propeller assem-
bly and canopy, and set them aside. Unplug the two
motor leads from the ESC.
❑
2) Using a # 1 phillips screwdriver, loosen the
four motor mounting screws and carefully pull the
motor out of the motor mount.
❑
3) Using Performance Plus Motor Spray, care-
fully spray the inside of the motor through the two
motor openings. Hold the motor up over an old towel
while doing this. Continue spraying the inside of the
motor until the liquid runs clear.
❑
4) Apply a couple of drops of Trinity Break-In
Drops to the two motor bushings and turn the prop
adaptor a couple of times to distribute the oil.
MOTOR MAINTENANCE
❑
5) Remove any excess motor spray and oil us-
ing a paper towel. Reinstall the motor and connect
the motor leads to the ESC. Mount the folding pro-
peller assembly, spinner and canopy.
