the motor box and the bottom of the ESC. Nylon tie straps
(not included) can also be used to attach the ESC. Attach

With the propeller not installed
, switch on the
transmitter with the throttle stick in the lowest position.

motor rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the front
when the throttle is advanced. If it does not, switch two of
the motor wires and check again.
IMPORTANT:
Now is a good time to set the fail safe on the
transmitter. The fail safe should be set so that the motor stops
if the signal from the transmitter is lost. Once the fail safe
has been set, start the motor and switch off the transmitter.
The motor must stop. If it does not, reset the fail safe and
test again.
