7. Slide the carbon tube into the hole in the

fuselage. There are two hoes that will provide the
proper alignment of the motor.

8. Slide the dummy motor on the motor. The front

edge of the dummy motor will be roughly 30%
(roughly 1/32-inch or .5mm) back on the motor.
Spin the motor by hand to check that the dummy
motor has been positioned evenly on the motor.
Use foam-safe CA to lightly glue the dummy motor
to the motor.
9. Slide the cowling on the fuselage. Use the three

2mm x 8mm black wood screws and a #1 Phillips
screwdriver to temporarily attach the cowling.
10. Slide the motor forward in the cowling. Fine-

tune the position of the motor forward or backward
as necessary so the dummy motor will not rub on
the cowling when the motor is in operation. Apply
2–3 drops of foam-safe CA to the joint between
the carbon tube and fuselage. Allow the CA to fully
cure before proceeding.
The measurement of the carbon tube through the
two firewalls could be slightly different from the
pictures shown here (1–2mm). This is because of
how you might have positioned the dummy motor.
