Motor mount misalignment

What I’ve done in the past is just mark and drill new holes if a motor pattern didn’t line up...

Those have 12mm holes, very annoying. You can make a template and drill more holes, make one out of plain modelling ply or 3d print one. The Hobbyking version of that motor here fits the wider spacing of the standard FT firewall.

I usually only get 2 of the holes with that motor to line up. It's fine, just put a dab of hot glue over them once they're tight. You can always get it off with a little bit of iso-alcohol.

You missed @mrjdstewart ’s offer as he’s now sunning himself on the beach in Mexico...
On the bright side 2 mins with a 2.5mm drill and you should be good to fly!
