1. The 10 x 10 x 22mm hardwood motor mount block
must be mounted in the correct orientation to insure the
proper right thrust. Identify the top, aft end of the block as
shown in the sketch so you will know how it is to be installed.
❏
2. Without using any glue, slide the motor mount block
over the fuselage tube. Be certain the block is in the correct
position so there will be up and right thrust. Do not glue the
motor mount block onto the fuselage tube.
