Section 11: Installing the Motor
We recommend a brushless motor rated for around 200 to 300 watts. The prototypes flew
outstanding on the Scorpion 3008 and 3S at around 250 watts.

Installing the Motor
You will want to glue the mounts together with epoxy, rather than CA. Epoxy can handle the
1.
vibration of a slightly out of balance propeller better than CA can.
Assemble the motor mount as shown in the photos. Make sure the parts are seated properly

to ensure the thrust angles are correct. All the parts are 1/8" Lt. Ply except for the 1/16"
plywood front doubler. The front parts have holes for the Scorpion motors. There are
additional ones marked with an X to help alignment if you are using a different brand motor.
Bolt the motor to the mount using the supplied 4-40 x 3/8" screws.

Bolt the motor mount to the firewall using 4-40 x 3/8" screws and the #4 washers.
