Okay....not a color question but a build question.....
It appears that if I follow the instructions, the motor extends from the motor tube .5 inches (motor block at 2.25", motor 2.75".
The motor retainer glues onto the exposed portion of motor tube. The lip of the retainer hangs off the end of the motor tube about an 1/8 inch. So, the end of the motor is now about 3/8" beyond the end of the retainer. The threaded part of the retainer cap is 3/8 inch long. So, with the motor installed, the cap sits on the end of the motor and can't screw onto the retainer.
Since it appears at least some of you have bult it, what the heck am I doing wrong?
