5. Drill a 3/8" [9.5mm] hole at the mark you made. A drill

bit or hobby knife can be used. However, we suggest

following the "Expert Tip" below.

HOW TO CUT HOLES IN FOAM

A. Locate a brass or aluminum tube with a diameter of the

size hole you wish to make. Use a rotary tool with a cut-off

wheel to bevel a sharp edge onto one end of the tube. If you

do not have a rotary tool, a hobby knife can also be used to

carve the INSIDE of the tube until the edge is sharp.

B. Press the tube into the foam and twist. The sharp end

will cut a clean hole through the foam without tearing.

6. Feed the ducted fan motor leads through the hole you

made in the duct channel top. Glue the duct channel top to

the fuse with epoxy or foam-safe CA glue. Be sure to apply

glue to the sides of the duct channel top. Allow the glue to

cure undisturbed.

1. Measure back 7-3/8" [187mm] from the front of the duct
