The slots are for proper sitting and aids in the alignment.

The motor mount is hardwood, epoxied.

[mechplas]

The fuse and the wings are also epoxied.

Testing the mount w Axi

[mechplas]

Washers are used at the back of the radial mount to give the right thrust.

Final position of the motor with two washers at right and bottom of the radial axis.

5mm carbon tube is CA'ed to the coro. Later epoxy is applied.

[mechplas]

Servos are stuck onto the coro surface with double sided sponge tapes and tied down w cable ties.

[mechplas]

PVC doublers are CA'ed at the back of the coro surface to receive pressures from the servos.

[mechplas]

PVC horns are also CA'ed to the coro surface with the screws that came with the HS55 servos. The string for the Push/pull system is also Ca'ed to the PVC horns.

[mechplas]

The Prop is MAS 11 x 7. This combination draws 11.1amps. But yet to find out its performance. When full throttle, while the aircraft is held w my hand, wants to move up. I guess this is a good sign.

[mechplas]

The batt and Rx are at the underside, towards the nose, just behind the prop. The BAtt is velco support and the Rx is sponge tape. Further held down by cable tie with release.

Now just thinking of weather to mount CF or wood landing gear for the vertical take off.....

Eh!!!

I've always wanted a VTOL... Ra, after u're done with it, can I have it XD?

Anyway, I suggest you use a 10x4.7 or 11x4.7 SF prop, more thrust!
