  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.

 Tighten the wood screws firmly, yet evenly, to clamp the motor securely 

in place.

  Place the wing hold-down doubler on top of the wing.  Align the back 

edge of the doubler with the trailing edge of the wing, and align the edges of 
the purple covering material on the wing hold-down doubler with the edges 
of the purple covering material on the wing.

  When  satisfied  with  the  alignment,  draw  an  outline  around  the  wing 

hold-down doubler on the wing.

  Line up the mounting holes in your motor with the precut slots in the 

plywood motor plate.

  Secure your motor into place, using the machine screws and washers 

included with your motor.

IMPORTANT

  The precut slots in the plywood motor plate are 4mm wide.  If your motor uses 3mm diameter mounting screws, 

you will need to use "oversized" washers to ensure that you can tighten the mounting screws securely.  For some motors, it may be 
necessary to enlarge the center cutout in the plywood motor plate.  Some motors may also include a separate plywood plate that 
can be used as a drilling guide.  If drilling new holes through the plywood motor plate, make sure to drill the new holes off-center 
from the precut slots to ensure adequate strength.
