❑

Using thick C/A, carefully glue the three plywood motor

rails to one side of the fiberglass motor plate, making sure to
roughen the fiberglass first so that the C/A will stick to it.

☞

Use the centerline you drew to help position the rails.

There should be a 5/8" space between the two side rails.

  Note the location of the set of predrilled

holes in the fiberglass motor plate.  When you glue the
rails into place, the forward rail should be away from the
set of holes, as shown.

❑

Using a ruler and a modeling knife, carefully cut a notch

out of the trailing edge of the wing, 1-3/16" wide and extending
1-9/16" in front of the trailing edge, as shown.

  Again, if you have spaced the mounting

rails farther apart to suit your application, you will need to
cut the notch in the wing wider to match.

❑

When satisfied with the fit, glue the motor plate assembly

into place using 5 minute epoxy.

☞

Make sure to remove any covering material from the

gluing surfaces and to lightly sand the fiberglass so that the
epoxy sticks to it.

  The back edge of the motor plate will over-

hang the trailing edge of the wing slightly.  This is normal.

❑

Test-fit the motor plate assembly to the 

bottom

 of the wing.  The fiberglass motor plate should fit firmly up against the

surface of the wing and the mounting rails should fit firmly within the notch you cut.  The predrilled holes in the motor plate
should be toward the trailing edge of the wing and the forward mounting rail should be toward the front of the wing.

❑

Using a modeling knife, carefully cut away the foam from within the four predrilled holes in the motor plate.

❑

Insert one zip-tie up through each hole on one side of the motor plate (from the bottom), then loop them over and push

each one down through each hole on the other side of the motor plate.

❑

Slide the motor into place, making sure it's pushed as far forward as possible.

  You may have to cut a couple of small notches in the foam to clear an area for the solder tabs on the

motor.  Also, don't worry about soldering motor wires onto the motor yet.  We will remove the motor later and solder the
ESC motor wires directly to it.
