SpeedWing 400 Mk II Assembly Instructions Manual Download Page 3

1.  Find the three parts of the motor mount.  You can 

smooth the edges of the motor mount doublers if 

you’d like.

2.  Use 5-minute epoxy to glue the ply doublers to the 

motor mount.  Make sure that you align the doublers 

correctly and hold them in place until the epoxy dries.

3.  Now place the mount along one wing core and 

mark where the ply doublers come in contact with the 

foam.  This foam will have to be cut from the cores so 

that the motor mount can be glued flush to the cores.

 

4.  Now use a sharp X-acto blade and cut the foam 

along the marks you have made.

5.  Glue the mount to one wing core with 5-minute 

epoxy.  Use just enough epoxy to cover the root of the 

wing.  To help hold the wing in place, use a couple of 

strips of masking tape.

6.  Glue the remaining wing to the motor mount using 

epoxy.  Again, use masking tape to help hold the wing 

to the motor mount while the glue dries.  Make sure 

the wing cores are in perfect alignment with the motor 

mount.
