❑
Install the two engine mounting beams onto the firewall, using four
M3 x 18mm machine screws, four M3 flat washers and four M3 blind
nuts. Tighten the screws firmly to draw the blind nuts into the back of
the firewall.
☞
Note that the engine mounting beam with a notch in it is mounted
on the right side of the firewall.
STEP 2: INSTALLING THE MOTOR
❑
Install the propeller adapter that you purchased separately onto
your motor.
❑
Set the two lower motor mounting straps (the deeper of the four)
onto the engine mounting beams, then set your motor onto the straps.
❑
Position the straps and your motor so that your propeller adapter is
about 3-7/8" from the front of the firewall.
❑
When satisfied with the alignment, use a pencil to mark the locations
of the mounting holes onto the engine mounting beams.
❑
Remove the motor and mounting straps, and drill 3/32" diameter
pilot holes through the engine mounting beams at the marks you drew.

Be careful that you drill the holes straight down
and not at an angle.

The 3-7/8" measurement is not set in stone. Frankly, for this airplane, it's not very critical. If you need to move
the motor forward or back slightly it won't cause any problem. We'd suggest mounting the motor further forward than back,
though, to help balance the airplane.
❑
Set the motor mounting straps and your motor back into place and
realign them.
❑
Place the remaining two motor mounting straps over the motor and
secure the assembly into place, using four M3 x 12mm wood screws
and four M3 flat washers.
☞
Tighten the screws firmly, yet evenly, to hold the motor securely in
place.
Now that you've got your motor installed, please turn back to Section 15 on page # 29 to finish the assembly of your
Speedy Bee ARF. When you get to Section 18 on page # 34, turn back to the next page to install your ESC and flight battery.
