ARF Savage Bobber Instruction Manual
First of all, install the X mount to the motor. Then position it to achieve the correct motor offset,
thrust line as indicated by the red arrow on former F9. Secure the motor in place by using the
supplied M3 x10 mm self-tapping screws.
The firewall on the Savage Bobber has a built-in 3 degrees of right thrust. This is a good
starting point for the recommended propeller size. If you feel you need a little more right thrust
angle, you may add additional washers top and bottom of the X mount on the left hand side to
achieve even better straight and level flight flying trim.
Finally, trial fit the cowling onto the fuselage and adjust accordingly to get the proper fit. To make
the adjustment and set-up easier we recommend that you use some masking tape to hold it in
place. Set it so that no rubbing occurs between the prop adapter and the front of the cowling.
If you find that the cowl is raised at the front and the firewall is pushing against the inside of the
cowl, gently sand the top corners of the firewall until you have a satisfactory fit. We suggest you
apply a thin layer of medium CA glue to the seam inside the motor box and the sanded area for
added strength. Once you are satisfied with the fit, secure the cowling onto the fuselage by using
the supplied M1.5 x 6 mm self-tapping screws.
