    Don't use plywood for elevator joiners, it has no torsional strength. If you cant find some phenolic, use "rock maple". Many hobby shops sell it for engine mount material, or almost all lumber yards should carry it. SteveT.

    As per page 10 of the manual found on this page, you use wood screws. If there are already holes there (and I assume there are, as it is used), if they are not already stripped out, give them a drop or two of thin CA, wait for it to cure, then just screw the motor on. If they are stripped...
