I will try your method of suporting the motor. Sounds a lot less intrusive than mine. I also noticed that the fuselage has to flex out for the prop to touch the body during crashes. A Zip tie would limit that.

I agree, I am a bloody ace on the Sim Tried to take my confidence to the field, but I let my father in law fly first. He crashed. Back to the repair shop. Oh well, it was worth it. This is the man that would kindly tap you on the shoulder and ask you to move the car, if it were on his foot. You ought to see him flying, though. Different person.
