-- Using THIN CA glue, go over the motor box assembly, applying a small amount of glue to all the seams. This is the

highest-stress area of the airframe, and we want to make it as strong as possible.

-- Your airplane includes a pre-drilled firewall with pre-installed blind nuts that fit Omega, Torque, Hacker, and other

popular brands of brushless motors. If your brand of motor uses a different bolt pattern, use your hobby knife to carefully

remove the blind nuts and plywood circle spacers from the back of the firewall, and then re-drill the firewall for your

motor.

-- Assemble brushless outrunner motor as shown below for mounting in front of the firewall surface. The prop adaptor

should be on the OPPOSITE side of the motor from the mount. Install motor with the longer 3mm screws as shown.

Please note that the motor is installed IN FRONT of the firewall.

NOTE: Your kit contains 4 plastic motor mount spacers. They may be used to space the motor away from the firewall as

needed for cowl clearance. Short motors, such as the Omega 103g1030KV, Hacker A30-16M, or Torque 2818-T900

require the spacers. Longer motors, such as the Omega 130g870KV, Torque 2814-T820 do not require the spacers.

-- Install speed control to fuselage with short velcro strip or zip ties.

Install the canopy hatch onto the model and seat it in place. Place some tape across the front of the hatch.

-- Tape small strips of paper over the cowl-mounting tabs as shown below and mark with pen or hobby knife the location

of the cowl mounting screws over the ply mounting tabs.
