Motor Mounts for David's RCExplorer Tricopter plans

I have built a couple of the RCExplorer tricopters and I really like the design. I made a few motor mounts that are compatible with his design to make it quicker and easier for the build. They also work on a DJI Flamewheel f450 or clone if you want to do a quick motor swap.

These are laser cut Delrin with a countersunk done with a CNC router.

The bolt pattern is the very typical 19mm x 16mm spacing.
