5. Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to replace your RC plane propellers:

1. Remove Old Propeller: Carefully unscrew or detach the existing propeller from the motor shaft.
2. Check Motor Mount: If your original motor mount does not align with the new propeller, replace it with one of the provided stainless steel motor shaft mounts. Ensure the mount is securely fastened.
3. Attach New Propeller: Align the new propeller with the motor shaft and the motor mount. The tool-free mounting system allows you to align, lock, and secure the propeller.
4. Secure Protective Cover (Multi-Blade): For multi-blade propellers, ensure the streamlined protective cover is correctly fitted to reduce air resistance and protect the blades.
5. Verify Installation: Gently spin the propeller by hand to ensure it rotates freely without obstruction and is firmly attached.

6. Operating Considerations

The ANTSIR propeller kit includes two types of propellers, each offering distinct flight characteristics:

• Dual-Blade Propellers: These propellers are designed to reduce air resistance, providing approximately 15% faster thrust and enabling more agile maneuvers. They are ideal for aerobatics and racing.
• Multi-Blade Propellers: These propellers mimic full-scale aircraft aesthetics, offering smoother lift and quieter operation. They are perfect for scale model enthusiasts seeking realistic flight simulation.

Choose the appropriate propeller type based on your desired flight experience.

Propeller Saver System:

The propellers are designed to work with a propeller saver system, which helps protect the propeller from damage during impacts and prevents electronic components from overcurrent. This system allows the propeller to detach or fold back upon impact, minimizing breakage.

7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and performance of your propellers:

• Regularly inspect propellers for any signs of wear, cracks, or deformation.
• Clean propellers with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
• Store propellers in a safe place to prevent bending or damage when not in use.
• Replace propellers that show significant wear or damage to maintain optimal flight performance and safety.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your propellers, consider the following:

• Propeller Does Not Fit: If your original motor mount does not align with the new propeller, replace it with one of the provided motor mounts. These mounts are designed for secure attachment.
• Excessive Vibration: Ensure the propeller is securely attached and not damaged. These blades are pre-balanced, so excessive vibration may indicate improper installation or damage.
• Reduced Performance: Check for any damage to the propeller blades. Even minor nicks can affect aerodynamic efficiency. Ensure the correct propeller type (dual-blade or multi-blade) is used for your desired flight characteristics.
