Quest/Enerjet Quad Runner Build #Q5016, Part 2, More Parts & 24mm Engine Mount


More parts:
Star Supports that center four 18mm motor tubes
Screw, washer and wing nut for engine retention
Kevlar line
The box says 18" nylon chute, but my kits had 16" chutes.


Mentioned earlier, 
The kit now includes a 24mm adapter. This mount fits the Quest 50mm tube.

Parts are standard.
On the 24mm mount:
I did punch some half circles for Kevlar and engine hook relief. This is the upper ring, the lower ring has one punch for just the engine hook.

The Kevlar line is doubled over at it's center and fed through the loop as shown.
The Kevlar looped line is pressed into the glue fillet.


This is the finished 24mm motor mount.

TIP: I always use electrical tape instead of masking tape for engine hook retention and better flex of the metal hook. Masking tape dries out and easily tears. Electrical tape can last for years.
