thanks guys here is a close pic for the visual learners, there is another hole for another screw in the bottom end of it but it isnt needed, its allot stiffer than it looks or than i though it would be. and i like that the aluminum acts like alittle more heat sink, right thrust is done by sanding it into the nose before covering. I was going to do like Billy did but was to cheap to get the mounting hardware, the advantage i see to billy's is that in a crash you will maybe only bent the hardware and hopefully not the motor shaft
oh, and the plane is close to taco size 36" ws and 38"length. and that is a 10x3.8apc which sounds small but i wanted to get a full season out of the lipo.
