ELECTRIC MOTOR INSTALLATION
1.
Place the mounting template on the fi rewall. Use low-tack tape to
hold the template in position. Use a drill and 3/32-inch (2.5mm) drill
bit to drill the four holes in the fi rewall to attach the motor box.
When using power systems other than the recommended
choices, we advise using the mounting template as a test
to ensure hole alignment before drilling the firewall.
2.
Remove the template from the fuselage. Use a drill and 5/32-inch
(4mm) drill bit to enlarge the holes from the previous step.
3.
Attach the mount to the motor using the hardware included with the
motor. Use a drop of threadlock on each screw to prevent them from
vibrating loose.
4.
Attach the propeller adapter to the motor using the hardware
included with the adapter. Use a drop of threadlock on each screw to
prevent them from vibrating loose.
5.
Attach your motor to the fi rewall. Adjust the position of the fi rewall
so the distance from the rear of the motor box to the face of the
1
drive washer measures 7
/
inches (181mm). Use a pencil to mark
8
the location of the fi rewall on the sides and bottom of the motor box.

6.
Remove the motor from the fi rewall. Mix 4 ounces (120ml) of
30-minute epoxy. Slide the fi rewall sand apply epoxy to the sides
and bottom of the motor box. Slide the fi rewall back in position.
7.
Use low-tack tape to hold the fi rewall in position until the epoxy
fully cures. Make sure the fi rewall does not move during the curing
process.
8.
Attach the motor box to the fuselage using four M4 x 20 socket head
cap screws, four M4 washers and four M4 lock nuts. Use a 3mm hex
wrench and 7mm nut driver to tighten the hardware.
