after testing a mount with thin upright arms decided against it because of sideways flex...went with the stronger A frame design the full size used here, now with turbine mounted on solid faces..no flex at all anywhere, will also be making airfoils like the original experimental Full size glider
like this



there is a centre mount design that clean and practical, but cannot be removed for Slope Soaring like the other design can...once I remove my Turbine no adjustment to CG will be necessary because the Turbine is directly over the CG point so less muking about with weights at the slope
