Motor Mounting the Flite Test power pack Large Twin

[Damig]

Soooo how do I mount the GT motors in the “Large Twin” pack for the Sea Duck?
yes I can see the build video. My motors came backwards “To My OLD Mindseye”. Thought that four screws through the mounts to the firewall like a Tee-Dee 049 and that would be it. But the spinny part of the little outrunner has no shaft, and the wire part cannot spin...
suffering from OLD brain cells.

Did it not come with a bolt on shaft for the 'spinny bit"

Ahhhhh, yes. So I drill a hole for the extended shaft to protrude into the battery/ESC area, and...... well that makes sense. Thanks. I spose we could cut it off at that point? Boy I did that one backwards. Thank you..... looking for the spinny bit -bolt-on

Yep !!!
They make the motor so that you can use a prop adaptor or a bolt on prop. Of course, when using a prop adaptor the motor should be behind the firewall.

now to think outside the box, beyond the nitro “Cox .049” planes

Thanks 😊
