Howzaat !!! Faisal Bhai ....Mounted the motor.. Used a 4" X 10mm X 12mm Wood peice ..Sightly filled the front 1" to insert it into the plastic mount and permanently glued the wooden block.The plastic motor mount can be taken out by removing a screw if in case required... Check the pics.. |

Make sure the wood piece is properly glued in. Running a screw from the side of the plastic in to the wood would be a good safety measure.
Also, make sure the motor is mounted onto the plastic using all 3 screws. There is so much vibration there, it is not worth taking chances.
If you have a prop saver, cut off the rest of the motor shaft and use the prop-saver. Chances of bending the shaft in case of crashes is very high with this long motor shaft.

The wood peice is very tightly glued , Later I will wrap the whole area with 2-3 turns of tape , I have already fixed a screw from the plastic to the wood on the other side. Motor is already mounted by 3 screw( tiny one,,so now i will cross check if they are strong enough) Will cut the shaft,actually i was thinking to discuss this with you but you already advised..Thanks, I dont know how the prop will be fixed over it ,,do i need some other attchment over the shaft??? Planning to put a single servo (vertical)for the both Alerons.. Make sure the wood piece is properly glued in. Running a screw from the side of the plastic in to the wood would be a good safety measure.
