Default RE: CONVERTING KADET TO ELECTRIC


ORIGINAL: RCKen

I'm currently reviewing the Electrifly Sopwith Camel and it uses the same method to position the motor. All you need it 3 blind nuts (for behind the firewall), 3 machine screws, 3 flat washers, and 3 pieces of aluminum tubing. Cut the tubing to the length you need to properly position the motor and feed the screws through the mount on the motor. Slip the tubing over each screw and then through a flat washer. Then screw those through the firewall into the blind nuts on the backside of the firewall. It would help to put threadlock on the screws to keep them secure.

Thank you. I think it would be easier to find nylon spacers in my local hardware store, would they be good or would the aluminum be best?
