The board that takes the hit. The motor board is the ASW-17's firewall — the mounting plate the motor assembly bolts to, set into the glider's slim nose behind the folding prop. It's also the part that pays the price in a nose-first arrival: a landing that catches the spinner or a winch-launch stumble transfers straight into this board, and a cracked or torn-out motor board means vibration, shifted thrust line, or a motor hanging loose. This is the genuine FMS replacement, per FMS's own ASW-17 parts list — the exact-fit board that restores the factory mounting geometry.

Fitment and Fitting

Fits the FMS ASW-17 2500mm electric glider. Installation is a repair-bench job: remove the old board completely, dry-fit the new one, and bond with foam-safe adhesive — then re-check the motor's thrust line and the model's centre of gravity before the next flight, as any structural nose repair can shift both. FMS's motor mount (FMSDJ015) and the ASW-17's shaft and prop parts are the natural companions if the arrival was firm enough to need them.
