6. Carefully cut the nose away from the fuselage using a rotary tool
with a cutoff disk. Do not cut all the way to the tape. Leave some
excess to be sanded away later.
7. Following the instructions included with the motor, change the
motor shaft orientation for mounting the motor to the back of the
mount.
8. Attach the motor mount to the motor using screws provided with
the motor. If necessary, use a countersink to bevel the holes in
the mounting plate. Ensure the narrow side of the edge bevel
previously sanded into the mount is facing away from the motor.
9. Insert the motor and mount into the nose of the fuselage from the
inside.
10. Press the propeller adapter onto the motor shaft and loosely install
the propeller nut. Install the spinner over the propeller adapter.
Ensure the spinner is fully seated over the adapter. Install the
spinner center screw.

11. Press the motor forward and tighten the spinner center screw
while pressing against the motor. Tighten the screw just enough
to hold the motor in place but still allow for adjusting the spinner
placement against the fuselage.
12. Use the spinner to correctly align the motor with the nose of the
fuselage.
13. When the alignment is correct, hold the motor steady from the
inside of the fuselage and carefully remove the spinner assembly
by loosening the spinner center screw, being careful to not move
the motor. Slide the spinner assembly off of the motor shaft.
14. With the spinner removed, temporarily tack the motor mount to the
fuselage with a couple drops of medium CA and accelerator around
the mounting ring.
15. Remove the motor mount screws and remove the motor, being
careful not to break the motor mount loose from the fuselage.
16. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP. Apply a generous bead of epoxy around
the joint between the mount and fuselage, both in front of and
behind the motor mount. Press the epoxy into the joint and smooth
it to form a fillet. Allow the epoxy to fully cure before continuing.
