Fuselage:

1. The three small green CR-18/24 centering rings

must be modified to make room for the engine

hook and shock cord. Using a sharp hobby knife,

cut a shallow notch 1/8" (3 mm) wide in two of the

rings. For the remaining ring, remove a full piece

1/8" (3 mm) wide to create a "c" ring.

2. With a pencil, mark the 2-3/4" (70mm) long

18mm tube at two points - 1/2" (13mm) and 1"

(25mm) from the one end of the tube - that is now

the forward end. Place a small cut 1/8" (3mm)

wide at the 1/2" (13mm) mark for the motor hook.

3. Insert the motor hook into the small slot cut in

the 18mm tube from the last step. The hook will

extend 1/2" (13mm) past the aft end of the motor

mount tube. With the motor hook thusly positioned,

apply wood glue to the line 1" (25mm) from the for-

ward end of the tube and slide one of the notched

centering rings into place behind the line (there

should be 1/2" or 13mm of the motor hook visible

on the forward side of the assembly).

4. Tie the kevlar shock cord around the forward

end of the 18mm tube, in front of the ring just

installed.
