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.
