❑
Using a ruler and a pencil, measure down 1/8" from the
top of the motor plate and draw a mark.
☞
Draw the mark in the center of the motor plate to make it
easier to align the gear box assembly.
❑
Carefully press the landing gear wire into the molded
groove in the back of the gear box assembly.
IMPORTANT
To make it easier to line up the gear box assembly properly in the next few procedures, we suggest using a ruler and a
pencil to draw a vertical centerline on the plywood motor plate.
❑
Slide the motor wires into the precut hole in the motor plate and out through the hole you cut in the top of the fuselage.
❑
Push the gear box assembly up against the motor plate.
❑
To align the gear box assembly properly, the gear box
should be centered from side to side on the motor plate and
the top of the gear box should be even with the mark you
drew (1/8" below the top of the motor plate.)
❑
When satisfied with the alignment, use a pencil to mark
the locations of the three mounting holes onto the motor plate.
❑
Remove the gear box assembly and set it aside. Using a drill with a 1/16" drill bit, drill pilot holes through the motor
plate at each of the three marks you drew.
