Mounting the motor...

I apologize for not finishing up this thread and posting the motor and battery tray/equipment installation but life and work got in the way. Let me finish up the thread now.

The kit comes with a standard mount for the Hacker C50 motor which I used. It also came with the rear support mounts for the Hacker but I chose to use Jerry Budd's rear support mount. I wanted to use Jerry's soft mount for the Hacker as well but it is slightly smaller than the supplied mount and doesn't match up to the alignment holes. I've since received another faceplate from Jerry that is larger than the current one and will try it later. From the pictures you can see the supplied mount and bolts and how I taped the motor to the plane and marked holes for the bolts, drilled the pilot holes and then enlarged them for the bolts. I had to countersink the front to accommodate the flush bolts.

1. Mount attached to the motor with the mounting bolts
2. Motor on the front but hanging loose
3. Motor taped to the nose so that it can't move and is stable
4. Plane hanging from the wall after I finished the taping
5. Motor/mount aligned with the nose plate
6. Marking the holes so that I can drill a pilot hole
7. Drilling the pilot holes
8. Pilot hole drilled out
9. Countersinking the front to accommodate the bolts
10. Two horizontal holes have been countersunk

I mounted the motor first with these two holes first before marking and drilling the final two holes.
