Noottee:: Your E-flite Pulse XT 25e has been designed to accept the Power 25 and
Power 32 motors. We have flown the model on wheels and floats with both
motors. The Power 25 delivers adequate power to fly the model on floats but
for extreme power you may opt for the Power 32 and 4S battery combination.
Ο 1. Using a #1 Philips screwdriver, install the mount on the rear of the motor
using the countersunk Philips head screws included with the motor. You may
use threadlock to prevent these screws vibrating loose during flight.
