I just got my seawind this past week after being on backorder for months. I plan on putting a BP A2212-10 Brushless outrunner in it. I got this from BP Hobbies a while back. I have not started assembly but do know that the hardware does not match what is provided for in the kit. I'll be making modifications as I go

You need to make a new mount.The mount provided will only fit there Rimfire motor.It's not to big a deal.

Of course you can install another brand in your seawind EP very easily. You dont need to make a new mount. I have a TeamOrion Gust MS in mine The RimFire is a 3 hole mount type and mine is a standard 4 hole mount. I used the mount that came with the plane. Look at the other SeawindEP threads here for pictures of mine with the GustMS motor installed. Look here for the info: Foamies! - RC Electric Foam Aircraft >> RE: Foam Seawind EP from Great Planes... page 3 its in the electric forum under the one you just posted to.
