Setups can differ though.

Thanks
Do the spacers come in the pack ?, if so what do they look like ?

Don't think they were included. Looks like a 2-3mm long sawed off piece of hard plastic, thin walled, tube.

Thanks
Another question (told you there'd be plenty)...

I assume that I have to drill out the hole in the prop so that it fits over the prop adaptor shaft or am I missing something ?

Well yes, but if you ream the prop correctly you won't need the spacer either.

OK, that's confused me even more now

Sorry! Why don't you add a pic, that will help.

OK

Hole in prop is 3mm, shaft is 8mm





Here's the parts relating to the motor and the order in which I think they're supposed to go on the motor ?
With all the parts in place it leaves a gap so if I tightened the nut it wouldn't lock the adaptor onto the motor shaft...

Perfect! All you need to do is ream the prop to 8mm diameter and you are set. You won't need spacers (little bag with white plastic spacers).

Thanks again
Where does the little white spacer go ?

Oh yes, the prop needs to go the other way round to in the pic but that means it fouls the base of the nose cone thing ?

PS
Those little white spacers appear to be designed to go inside the round white base plate to adapt it for different size shafts, they all have the same outside diameter but different internal and none of them fit over the shaft of the prop adaptor, that means the white plate doesn't require internal spacing

Spacers are for the prop if the adapter is smaller than the reamed diameter. This is not the case here because you can ream it to the size of your adapter. You won't need them.
If the prop hits the base plate when turned around (pusher configuration) then just put an ordinary metal washer in between until cleared. Alternatively you could trim/groove the base plate where the prop hits until cleared.

Thanks
It HAS to be a washer otherwise the nut won't tigten down far enough for the adaptor to clamp onto the motor shaft
So I need a spacer/washer about 5mm thick (min) and of similar outside diamter to the circular part of the prop

This this is supposed to be ARF, it's claimed that all you need is TX/RX ESC and battery
Turns out it has crap glue, the prop won't fit along with the supplied adaptor and motor, there are no servo extensions (only elevator which is pre-fitted), not to mention missing servos

It's not so much the cost as the hassle in sourcing these items and having to wait for them to arrive from wherever

What camera did you use to take these images? The macro is splendid!

My Sony DSC-HX9V
It's a fairly good camera and does 1080p60 full HD too, no manual modes but I don't bother with that much nowadays anyway

Ok so as you may have gathered this is my first ever build....

Glueing in the servos, is it wise to just glue them around the sides and not underneath in case I need to cut them out to replace them ?

I use UHU-Por (easier to get in Europe) for servos in foam wings. Holds solid but lets you remove it if needed,great glue for foam! Yes, I glue the base as well regardless of what I use.
