I ended up taking a thick piece of sheetmetal, used tin-snips to make a narrow triangle shape about 6cm long an 3cm wide on the narrow end, then I put it in a vice and made a sharp 90 degree bend across the middle leaving a wide trapezoid and a small triangle on either side of the bend. Then I drilled holes in it and mounted the motor to the trapezoid side. Lastly, I took a broken GWS gearbox, trimmed the plastic so that I all I had left was the grey square thing that goes over the stick. Then I wound kevlar string around the thin-end of the triangle to attach it to the grey plastic thing, and covered the thread in 5-minute epoxy. The mount seems solidly on there and it weighed about 18 grams when it was done. |

I love my dandy sport. When all my other planes give me head aches from time to time, I know I can always get out my dandy, and fly for a good half hour on one charge. I am running the stock 300 motor with a 11x47 prop, and 2s1p 1500 lipos. I run the 11x47 because I am flying at about 4000 feet of elevation. The set up pulls about 8 amp WOT, and will cruise at about 1.5 amps.
If I were to build the plane again, the only change I would make would be to reinforce the area around where the aileron servo mounts. I broke the mount off trying to mount the servo. --C. Alan |
