Cut the screw parts that are staying free on the other side of the plastic
arms (on the black side).
•Mounting the servomotors onto the locking plate:
Please place the servomotors the way shown on the picture below:
Use the last 2 screws that come with each servomotor to screw it onto the locking plate.
Then plug you radio receiver and the servomotors
and turn you radio transmitter on.

•Propelling system mounting :
Screw the motor using 4 HSHC M2-15 (at least this size) screws.
Place the blocks (spacer rings) that come with the wheels in between the motor and the locking plate. Doing so enables the motor to move
backwards thus positioning the propeller in plane with the back red hooping. It also optimizes the way your lines are protected.
The battery has to be placed the way shown on the picture thus positioning the
center of gravity properly. Doing so will enable you to bring up to 500 gr
onboard using the front side of your trike.
Please check your system trim before every single flight.
Hold the trike in the air by the shackles on both sides. Your setting is correct
when the front wheel is about 3 centimeters higher than the rear ones. Doing
so will enable the trike to be really steady and stabilized when taking off and
landing. It is also important to note it will ensure a thrust perpendicular to the
wing width projected axis. In other words, your trike will gain height!
You will find all the information you may need about piloting your paramotor in
your wing manual user and, of course, in the numerous videos available on our
website.
