IMPORTANT You can fine-tune the operation of both the main gear and the nose gear landing gear doors using several different
methods. If one or both of the landing gear doors need to be opened more when the landing gear is down, carefully bend one or
both actuator assembly wires apart. If one or both landing gear doors don't close completely when the landing gear is retracted,
bend one or both actuator wires shorter where they attach to the actuator horns.

The A-26 Invader is an excellent platform for electric power. In this section, we list the power system that we suggest, along with
photographs showing the basic installation of the motors, electronic speed controls and batteries. We have performed extensive flight
testing using the suggested power system and have found it to fly the aircraft amazingly well. If you decide to use different brands of
products, please make sure the specific products that you use are comparable in specification to what we suggest. Using anything
too far outside of our specifications can result in poor performance.

q Install each of your two brushless motors, using four aluminium motor mounting posts.
To line up your motors, simply hold each motor up to the firewall and centre it, then mark the four mounting hole locations. When
installed.
The drive washer on each propeller shaft should be 114mm (4-1/2") in front of the firewall. You will need to cut your motor mounting
posts to the correct length to achieve the proper spacing between the drive shaft and the firewall. Different brands of motors are different
lengths, therefore require different length motor mounting posts. Mounting posts can be made from 4-40 threaded rod, aluminium
rod, heavy duty washers and lock nuts.
q Install the actuator plate assembly and the two actuator horns, using the
same tecniques that you used to install the actuator assemblies and actuator
horns for the main landing gear doors.
IMPORTANT The actuator plate assembly is hinged to the forward bulkhead
and the two actuator horns should be mounted 35mm (-3/8") in front of the
back edge of the nose landing gear doors and 8mm (5/6") down from the
outer edge of the nose landing gear doors.
