4. SAFETY NOTES
The power set “EasyGlider PRO” is designed exclusively
for use in modelling applications. Incorrect use can result
in serious personal injury.
• Read the instructions before initiation
• Before every flight, check that the motor and propeller
are securely mounted
• Remove all movable objects from the area around the
propeller before switching the motor on
• Do not allow clothing or any of your extremities to get
close to the spinning propeller
• Never start running the motor in your hand
• Stop the motor immediately if you notice vibration.
Eliminate the cause of the vibration before running it
again; you may need to correct the balance of the
propeller blades
• Make sure the power system is adequately cooled; do
not allow anything to obstruct the free circulation of air
5. ASSEMBLING OF THE
POWER SET ”EASYGLIDER PRO”
1. Screw the motor to the motor mount Æ ensure that the
motor is free to rotate. When deploying the motor
cables, check that they cannot make contact with the
spinning motor.
2. Fit the propeller driver and the hexagon driver nut on
the motor shaft.
3. Attach the folding propeller blades to the blade holder
using the screws and self-locking nuts supplied. Ensure
that the propeller blades are free to swivel to and fro.
4. Fit the blade holder with propeller blades assembled on
the propeller driver, and secure it with the spacer, the
plain washer, the shakeproof washer and the hexagon
nut.
5. Attach the spinner to the propeller driver using the
central screw.
6. INITIATION OF THE
POWER SET “EASYGLIDER PRO”
1. Connect the three wires attached to the speed
controller to the three wires attached to the motor; the
order of connection is unimportant.
2. Locate the UNI connector attached to the speed
controller, and connect it to your receiver.
3. Switch the transmitter on, and check that the throttle
control is at the “OFF” position.
4. Connect the flight battery to the speed controller.
5. Check the direction of rotation of the motor: it should
spin clockwise when viewed from the tail, looking
forward. If this is not the case, disconnect the flight
battery and swap over any two of the three motor wires.
6. Set the motor brake on the speed controller to “ON”;
the procedure is described in the speed controller
instructions.
