2. Place the second motor bracket over the motor and
drill a 1/32" [.8mm] pilot hole at each mounting hole in the
motor bracket. Secure the motor brackets to the mounting
rail with 2x7mm sheet metal screws. Rotate the
motor/geardrive so that the gear drive is aligned with the
firewall. Then tighten the screws.

3. Use the hex wrench to loosen the set screw in the prop
adapter and remove the prop adapter from the gear drive.
Tape a piece of paper to each side of the fuselage even with
the front of the fuselage.
❏
4. Slide the cowl onto the fuselage and under the paper.
Reinstall the prop adapter on the gear drive. Tighten the set
screw on the flat of the gear drive output shaft. Tape the cowl to
the fuselage so that the prop adapter is centered in the hole in
the front of the cowl and the front of the cowl is approximately
1/16" [2mm] back from the flange on the prop adapter.
❏
5. Drill two 1/32" [.8mm] holes through both sides of the
cowl and the fuselage 1/8" [3mm] behind the front edge of
the paper. Remove the cowl and the paper. Enlarge the
holes in the cowl only with a 1/16" [2mm] drill. Then, mount
the cowl with four 2x7mm washer-head screws.
❏
6. Remove the screws and cowl. Apply a drop of thin CA
in each hole to harden the wood. Reinstall the cowl and prop
adapter after the CA has hardened.
Note: You will need to have your 8-cell motor battery
charged later in this section. Start charging it now so
you do not have to wait for it to charge later.
