Thanks for the photo. Good closeup. I recognize the motor as the one I had (still do) for the now defunct Micro-Lite. I would be interested in how you arranged for a flat spot on the aluminum tube/motor mount. I used brass, and then formed the top part of the protruding brass tubing using a hammer and nail set. I supported the bottom half of the tubing in a solid balsa block while pounding away at the top of the tube to form it. It gives a cradle-like interface. I too use nylon ties, and then pour some epoxy around the sides to form a more complete holding surface.

Your three channel Elfi (versus 4 channel) is one of the later models. The wing is completely red in color. Earlier versions, such as my Elfi #1, had orange outer wing panels, red inner panels. I may have asked this before, but where did you obtain the M100 motor?

Thanks again for the photo. Really nice and descriptive.
