I may have sent you a PM a while back, not sure (old age).
Yes the center section is one piece, I didnt want to weeken the structure since I will be placing a considerable amount of battery weight under the canopy.

Currently I have Suppo 7035/8 190kv Brushless Motors ( I went cheap) swinging Beila semiscale 22x10 3 blades. But I'm investigating smaller motors since these are way over kill rated at a 48lb plane each. Basically 70cc-80cc motors.
I'm currently looking at some Scorpion SII-5535-160KV motors and plan on getting CW and CCW 3 blade props.

Here is a picture of my canopy access:

I made a video/ picture montage of my build if you want to see my journey to date: https://youtu.be/xQbO1d5cZvw

I can add some pictures here if that would be preferable.
