Note:
The motor is supplied with a flux ring installed. This
ring is present in the preceding photo and those that follow
and should be removed for the first flights. This ring will
increase flight time by reducing the current flow to the motor.
There is also a slight reduction in power.

3. Fit the 1/16" [2mm] ply reinforcement plates to the rear
of the fuselage. The plates are slightly oversize so that they
may be fitted to a variety of motors. Trim the plates as
needed to fit the shape of the fuselage.
❏
4. Glue the reinforcement plates and the motor mount,
with the motor installed, into place with 6-minute epoxy.
The photo above shows the installation of a Kyosho AP-29
motor. As the motor is longer than the supplied motor, some
of the foam under the motor needs to be trimmed.
This photo shows the installation of a brushless motor and
speed control. Some trimming of the fuselage may be
needed, depending on the motor and speed controller.
This photo used for the next two steps.
❏
1. Find one of the 1" [25.4mm] pieces that you cut from
the aileron pushrod and glue it to the groove in the rear
hatch. If you can’t find one, a tooth pick can be used.
