So, bought the V-Tail motor mounts, had a hell of a time getting them onto booms that I painted, which resulted in one of the bottom sides that goes on the bottom of the boom breaking. Glued it back on, used a zip tie to secure the whole thing to the boom.
Did some test flying which resulted in some crashes while I tuned it, and broke 2 more. So out of the 4 individual sides that loop to the bottom of the wood boom, 3 have broken off.
Wood apparently just isn't strong enough for this. Without my zip ties around the whole thing, I'd have crashed way worse.
Is there any way to get FT to make these in G10 ? Hell I have G10 sitting here, but I dont have the tools to easily replicate these parts.
I'd appreciate any thoughts from anyone. Maybe there are better way to mount the motors than using these motor mounts.
Thanks!
