Default RE: Aerial Shot

Heres a shot of the pod. There is a balsa bracket, reinforced with thin ply and epoxy. The bracket fits around the two lower engine mount holes that I am guessing is for when you convert to a 50 size. I used a carbon fiber rod to go through the bracket and engine mount and that held it in place. I found a better way, although not as easy to remove and put on. I suspended the pod from very small piano type wire. It flexible and it cut back on the vibration that occurred with the hard mount way. I don't have shots of the pod after changing the mounting but the aerial below was taken with the suspension wire method.
