2-3. If the tubes were hardened, check the fit of a motor

into the end of the motor tubes. Sand lightly if there is

resistance to inserting the motor. Using a sharp hobby

knife, cut a slot at the 1/8" (3mm) mark made in the previ-

ous step. Install the motor hook by inserting the forward

"L" end of the hook into the slot, aligning the hook with

the lengthwise line and taping the hook into place. Com-

plete the other two motor tubes in the same way.

2-4. Using a sharp hobby knife, cut the motor mount parts

out of the plywood sheet (P/N 12712). Take care not to

misplace the engine blocks which are nested inside the

aft centering ring.

2-5. Place a ring of wood glue inside the forward end of

the motor tube and insert the wooden engine blocks into

place, flush with the end of each tube. Repeat for each

motor mount tube.

2-6. Hold the latch ring (ring C) with the label facing you.

Using a needle file, chamfer the right edges of the tabs

as shown to make installation of the completed mount

easier.

2-7. Tie a loop in one end of the final 23" (580 mm) shock

cord, securing the tail with masking tape. Then tie the

other end through the holes in the A alignment frame (the

one with holes in it).

2-8. When installing the alignment frames, the rounded

corners of the frames face the outside edge of ring E

(the front centering ring), and should be nearly flush. Add

wood glue to all three alignment frames into insert into

ring E, with the A piece to the right of the hole with the

notch, and the two B pieces in the remaining slots. Pass

the shock cord through the hole with the notch.

2-9. Rotate ring E around. Pass the shock cord through

the latch spacer (ring D). Apply wood glue to the align-

ment frame tabs and the latch spacer (ring D), and install

the spacer. Clean up any blobs of glue with a Q-tip.

2-10. Apply wood glue to the latch spacer which was just

installed, as well as to the remaining length of the align-

ment tabs. Position the latch (ring C) that was cham-

fered in Step 6 such that the chamfers and "C" label face

the forward centering ring (ring E) and install. Carefully

remove excess glue from the area of the latch and the

holes for the motor tubes.
