3D printable motor mounts are now available on my Thingiverse page.
I've printed them, but haven't tested them yet. Let me know if you have any issues or suggestions.

one little thing it kinda bugging me though. in the build video and in my own version. it appears as though one motor is farther out than the other. am i crazy? did i mess something up? or is that intentional?

Jason, SPONZ,
Those skins look amazing. Finished my Dart from plans last night. Worked on cutting the firewall/motor mounts but was not happy with my results so I just made a couple of inside out mini type power pods. I figure that these may give me some easily replaceable parts for the inevitable crashes. Also enlarged the battery pod to accommodate my 610 3S batteries. Can't wait to maiden but mother nature needs to be a little more cooperative.
Pics are below:
Build as per plans with the following changes:
- no skewer in the wing leading edge
- modified to power pod style motor mounts
- changed pod so that there is no gap for the 3/32 ply
- built small swappable style power pod to mount outside of the motor mounts
- enlarged battery pod
- AUW with 610maH 3S battery is 228g/8oz
And no, it's not your eyes, the tape on the bottom does not align between the right and left sides.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Regards, Jan
Any pics of the carnage?
Alright, I had the dart sitting in my cart for a while and I finally got one! This will be my first ever wing and FT foam core build. I've been flying mini quads for just over a year now, so my goal is to go full FPV from the get go on this guy, but I do have a few questions. This is going to be a great spring break project (and yes...I'm a teacher).
Any special/specific tools you'd recommend for this build?
To paint/seal/etc. what's best?
Other than the build video, any other building tips/tricks I should know beforehand?
