Motor mount This manual explains the front mount such as Adverrun Contra unit. O.S. F3A motor (motor reduction). Necessary: Wood made (5-6 mm) motor mount (according to the last figure of this manual), Epoxy glue, Micro balloon, Glass cloth. Cut the front part of the fuselage like #18. The down thrust fits the front of the fuselage. For a normal propeller, make sure the side thrust is at right 3 degrees.
