Hopefully someone has built this kit with the Grand Slam bomb and electric motors. I have a question about mounting the motors. Their casing has a keyway, but there is nothing inside the nacelle or top cowling to locate in it.
The motors need holding horizontally, not merely cantilevered off the nacelle nose which in any case does not allow for plastic-to-plastic contact. Also the props are a very tight fit onto the shaft, and one would need to react against the load when pushing them on. I guess I will just make a support to fit under the motor casing, and use one finger to react against the prop pushing on.
See attachments for close up details.
Any ideas?
Thanks from Geoff.

Hello Geoff.
I do not have the lanc with the electric motors but I have fitted motors to other aircraft. All you need to do is build a support to hold it in place.
