RE: GP YardStick Help (Research B4 U Buy)
I have some photos of my motor mount. I used some 1/8" X 1 1/4" flat stock from Lowe's and cut a 1" hole in it with a hole saw bent a 90 in it and trimmed the material where it mounts to the boom. I use some 6 minute epoxy to attach the mount to the boom. I used some electrical tape to hold it to the boom and shape the epoxy while it set up. The stock motor gear box setup will not allow you to do a ROG take off. I suggest the S-280 BB motor and the 5.1:1 gear box with a 9/6 prop. This is a cheap upgrade yet offers a very noticeable power increase. It runs about 4.6 amps and puts out around 40 watts on a 7 cell 650 bat. It will also run good on the stock 6 cell setup (7 cell is better).
