Motor mount for Bixler.

I started to work on my Bixler EPO 1400mm - (ARF) and this kit have some problems :)

The fuselage is glued, but very bad, I was able to pull it apart by hand :) That made it easier to remove the washers from the nose, ( it will have enough weight in the end :) )

and the horrible motor mount that was hot-glued to one side and at very strange angle :) And there is no way to change the motor if the plane is assembled :(

I wanted better motor mount :) And with the option to change the motor !!! So I made one :) 

Its only 13g.

 

The tube is glued in, motor and the mount plate slides in and locked by two screws.

now I can change the motor :)

 

Thanks.

I like what you've done with the motor mount, but a lot of what your doing is already well researched and applied.  The rcgroups.com group has been dealing with most of the problems for quite a long time.

 One of the tricks is to buy your bixler (rebranded sky surfer V3) as ARF in this way it will arrive ready for you to glue it yourself, and you can install your own speed controller and receiver.

 

Here is a youtube vid of a guy doing the basic build supplement.
