Foam RC Airplane

Step 6Mounting the motor

Mounting the motor
Use a table saw to cut out a slot in a block of wood to mount your motor on. Pre-drill the mounting holes in the block. Glue the block to the airframe. Mount the motor to the block.

I recommend using a folding prop so you can belly land the plane and you won't need landing gear.

I have never built an airplane before but i have made robots so i have a Hitec Laser 4, a few standard size servos and some Ni-Mh batteries (1600 mah 9.6v and 8.4v) im wondering if these servos and batteries are too big, if so what ones should i use, and also what size motor should i get, i have no clue what to look for in a motor or prop.
