Replace Drive Belt Electric Plane Motor Runs Blade Not Turning

A common fault with electric planes is that the drive belt can snap meaning that the motor runs yet the cutting blade doesn't rotate or turn. The part is very cheap and is very easy to replace as this video shows. The cost was under £5 and the replacement took a few minutes, in fact it took longer to video than to actually do the belt replacement
