I just built one of these and it went together really fast. Need to harvest a few servos from a few crashed planes, but hope to have it in the air tomorrow.
What motor pod did you use? Any idea how I could swap in a mini pod with a 2204? Should look good with a 6x4 bullnose.
I'm glad to hear it went together well.
I used a one of the transferable firewalls from
this article. It was secured to the inside of the fuselage. One of the short power pods from an FT Scout should fit, might require some trimming.
On that plane that i pictured, the NTM 2826 motor was spinning an 8" prop. I don't remember the pitch. It might have been 9" prop, but it was more than ample.
The 2204 motors have a 16/19 hole pattern, that should fit the standard "X" mount adapter that comes with the 2826 type motors. In that case, you can use the "X" mount and put your 2204 on a regular sized FT firewall, on a short FT power pod.
Short of using the larger pod or the transferable firewall, a slice of foam on each side of a mini power pod might take up enough space for a snug fit.
I hope that helps. Good luck with maiden.
