Description
Three fuselage motors contained in the after portion of the Baka serve as the main propulsion units. Two wing motors differing only in method of suspension and having shorter venturi tubes may or may not be used in addition to the fuselage motors.
The motors are ignited by electrically fired squibs fitted into the nose portion of the motor. The firing circuit is controlled by a selector switch in the cockpit.
