Hacker C50 13XL motor nose ring installation

I have both the Hacker C50 14XL motor in my Eclipse. For the Genesis, I plan on trying the Hacker C50 13XL motor. I have seen Todd Blose's Genesis with the 13XL motor and like the wider speed envelope he has. The fuse nose ring is fabricated from 1/8" hard plywood and 1/2" wood dowells. The motor mount is fabricated from 1/16" (0.062) CF flex plate. I ordered my flex plate and motor from Espirit Models. It is hard to see, but I install the plywood motor mount in the fuse with clear Permatex RTV. I make up a 1/32" spacer ring to fit behind the spinner. Then I install the engine with the spinner. The 1/32" spacer ring insures the motor is centered with the fuse nose and the right and down thrust matches the angles pre-molded in the fuse. On the Hacker drive washer, I drill and tap two #6-32 holes. I use these holes as puller holes when I remove the drive washer.
