Default Cheap way to make a gws direct drive 300

I have a gws 300c gearbox motor and i have converted it to direct drive(more speed)
First get:
1.Gws 300 W/gearbox
2.APC 7X6 Prop
3.Pliers
4.A plane which you can put the motor mount in the bottom of plane(such as a GWS spitfire)
5.Thick, Strong glue

1.First remove the 2 screws holding the motor in
2.Then Take the gear drive off of the gearbox using pliers
3.Then Glue the motor back in the gearbox.(cannot screw it in because it will block the prop and knock it off)
4.Put the GWS Motor Mount it the lower hole of the plane(glue in place)
5.Press the gearbox partially onto the mount to where the gear is still showing.
6.Mark the lengh you pressed the motor in and remove.
7.Put some glue on the inside of the box and press to the mark
8.Let dry and then press the APC prop on.*

*It seems that the prop would come off but it will hold wonderfully!

Still not convinced? Glue it on!
