Default Re: New Extreme Flight RC 48" Extra 300 EXP Build

Mounting the cowl is very fast and easy. Get some masking tape (I used blenderm) and stick it to the sides of the fuse so it extends out to the mounting tabs. Use a fine tip marker or pen and mark the ceter of the tabs, then partially pull the tape back and slide the cowl on. Slide the Extreme Flight 52mm spinner backplate onto the motor shaft and use that as a reference to center the cowl properly. Once everything's lined up stick the tape back down to the sides of the cowl and use a 1/16th drill bit to drill a hole at each tab location. Remove the tape and cowl at this time. Before you screw the cowl on power up the plane and make nsure the motor is turning in the right direction. If it's not, just unplug two of the wires and plug them into the opposite wires. Now you can screw the cowl on with the supplied wood screws and mount the prop and spinner also.
