Install the Propeller
❏
1. Carefully balance the propeller and any spare propellers.
An unbalanced propeller can be the single most signi cant
cause of vibration that can damage the model. Not only will
engine mounting bolts loosen, possibly with disastrous effect,
but vibration may also damage the receiver and receiver
batteries. Vibration can also cause the fuel to foam, which
will, in turn, cause the engine to run hot and quit.
We use a Top Flite Precision Magnetic Prop Balancer
(TOPQ5700) in the workshop and keep a Great Planes
Fingertip Prop Balancer (GPMQ5000) in our  ight box.
(Gas Engine)
❏
2. The included aluminum spinner was designed to be used
with the DLE-55, DLE-61 and the O.S. GT60 gas engines.
Drill the bolt holes through the propeller, slide the propeller
and spinner backplate on the engine prop shaft and install
the prop bolts.
❏
3. Install the spinner cone on the engine using a M5 x
50mm socket head cap screw. Use a drop of threadlocker
on the threads.

4. Xoar Electric Propeller: Enlarge the propeller shaft
hole to 10mm using a metric prop reamer or a letter gauge
size X drill bit. Secure the propeller and spinner base with
the spinner adapter and washer (GPMQ4590) (not included).
