Underside view. Also showing how the motor attaches to the prop.

You're going to use an electric powered rubber band to turn the prop?! Different!

I was wondering how you were going to get that motor coupled up to the prop. Have you tried this before?

I have never tried this before, it is one of the methods described by Don Ross in his second book "Flying Models". It has several benefits, the motor alignment is not critical, the rubber band can break if the prop gets caught, front end damage is not transfered to the motor, and the prop thrust angle can be adjusted without fussing with the alignment of the motor. I would probably just mount the motor directly to the cowl if I wasn't trying to make a power plant that can be moved from one model to another.
