Well,
That is one of the fun things about the electric part of the hobby. You may want to repost this in the electric forum, most of the folks here don't fly much electric, but I can tell you it will most likely involve a collet adapter like this... http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=5122&Product_Name=Propel ler_Adapter_(colet_type)_3mm
You should be able to find one at the LHS (Local Hobby Shop). The important thing to consider is the shaft diameter on the motor.
Good luck,
Curtis

Checked the site description more closely and found out it needs a Prop Saver for 3mm Shaft.

Answered my own question.

I use these (prop savers) rather than prop adapters. Couldn't be happier...

You have to scan down to about the middle of the page...Also, get a supply of O rings to match while you are at it. I'd think your LHS has them.

Also, after you have it fitted properly, consider cutting the excess length off of your motor shaft. Too much length will inhibit the prop from folding over..which keeps it from breaking. I went though a ton of props until I started using these, instead of adapters.
regards, Rich
