I've had my versacopter for almost a month now. I love it, but my biggest complaint is the motor mount plates. They're far to easy to crack.
Like this!
So while looking to buy replacements on the Flite test store, I saw these. Unfortunatly they're not for sale, as of yet.

But need these now! So I thought I'd just make my own instead.
Here's the 3D Solidworks model. I used the pictures from the store as a reference, and took measurements from my versacopter
Some toolpaths and plastic chunks later...
My MDF Test piece.
Finally, fitted on the copter itself!
It's WAAAY tighter and stronger than those plastics pieces! Unfortunately I don't have a enough plastic to make 7 more pieces, but I definitely will be getting some to finish everything.
FT guys, if you see this I'm sorry I basically copied your mounts 1 to 1, but they worked fantastically
