Default RE: New OXAI CITRIN by Wolfgang and Roland Matt

Hi Joe,

Grant and my mounts are basically identical so the weights are essentially the same as what Grant has posted. The front mount (like Grant and I did it) is only really necessary with the Citrin as there is no front nose plate to attach the F3A front mount to. Using the F3A mount would have still required the installation of a front carbon structure, plus the additional mounting bolts etc. As we had to put a front plate in anyway, it made sense to make it such that it directly attaches to the motor and does not require the F3A mount as well.

In your case if the plane has a traditional front nose then the F3A front mount should work great and I really would not bother with trying to make a completely new front mount.
