Question with Multiplex Roxxy Electric Motor

Hi all,

Sorry about the noob question. I have this Roxxy motor but I see that the shaft is on the side with the cables that is mounted. My idea is to install a folding prop but I can't figure out how to do it with this motor. To me the shaft is on the wrong side!

Thanks

Welcome here,
this small motor can be operated from both sides - an airscrew mounted with a rubber band on the left side ("prop saver method") or you install the folding prop with the prop adapter onto the axis on the right side. But you have to guide the wires inside the fusealage to make sure, they don't collide with the rotor.

Alternatively you could try to disassemble the axis from the motor and shift the free end to the other side (could be glued). But then the retaining ring needs a new groove and - looking at vibrations, the bearings will suffer more with the folding prop on the "long" end of the axis.

Maybe this web page of "competitor" explains a bit better.
