Good work Ted. That looks very good too.

Something you could consider, and this also applies to Adverrun SD:

​​​​​In my tests I found that in sudden change of direction, the prop alignment tends to change as rubber isolators flex. Because of this I had to bring the back support further away from prop to keep alignment decent and to make plane more stable.
Also, I put the back support in the center so that the torque of the motor will be handled by front rubber isolators, not the the back ones. This is not a big issue but need to be considered when installing the drive in the plane. If you keep it like that the back support of the plane need to be strong and stiff enough to cope with vertical forces induced.
