One of the two bolts holding the motor on had some extra metal on the head that hadn't been trimmed off during production. Of course, the installer used it anyway, not allowing the bolt to seat into the recess. This allowed the bolt to strip out the plastic threads, and bend the bolt. Replaced the bolt and that helped, but when the landing gear hit the top, the whole thing twisted again. Reversing the motor turned it to where it should be.

Will either stop the motor before it hits the top, or come up with a way to secure the bottom to the framework (another great use of zip ties).

There's about a 1/4 inch deep, 3/4 in long divot in the aluminum housing from the fore mentioned screw.
