Mount the Propeller
We’ve found it unnecessary to balance the included 10 x 6
3-blade propeller, but detail-minded pilots who demand the
most performance may balance the propeller on a precision
balancer such as the Top Flite Power Point Propeller Balancer
(TOPQ5700). In any case, if you ever detect unusual noise
or vibration from the prop or motor, land the plane and fi nd
the source of the problem.
❏
1. Install the prop/spinner assembly onto the motor shaft.
Then, tighten with a 10 mm or 3/8" wrench (or a crescent
wrench).
❏
2. Install the spinner cone and secure with the M3 spinner
screw.
Install the Antenna
Fit the removable antenna into place through the opening in
the back of the canopy – it may be a good idea to remove the
antenna during transport to avoid damage.
Check the C.G. (Center of Gravity)
The model must be in ready-to-fl y condition with everything
installed including the propeller. But it doesn’t matter whether
the Zero is balanced with the gear up or down or with the
bomb attached or not as any minute shift in C.G. has been
accounted for in the specifi ed range.
