Making a start on the fuselages

Having received the components that we need to complete the motor installation, I have now worked out how to do it for one fuselage, so the other one should follow quickly.

The ‘problem’ is that the fuselage is not round but oval, everything else is round.  The motor also has the wires coming out of the side, between the gearbox and the motor – which is an out runner, so could damage the wires if they touched the motor.

So lots to the think about.  One last thing, the spinner size – we have to make sure that the fuselage diameter roughly matches the standard spinner diameters.

When all of these come together we get the following:

I've yet to glue this in place and then finish the fuselage so it's perfectly flush with the motor mount but this will follow soon.  I also need some screws to mount the motor on the plate.  I'm hoping Richard from T9HobbySport can help with this.

Next step is to order the speed controllers and batteries.  I'll then start to balance the fuselage - just roughly.
