Tim, you might want to lengthen the antenna wire first before taking
it back. From what I've read on rcgroups the plane seems promising.
Being able to quickly remove the motors & RX is what I've been looking
for.
What I also wish someone would come up with for the AA is some clip
in motor mounts that would fit the AA motors. Some way to just snap
the motors in & out off a plastic mount of some kind.

I just picked up some 3M Command picture hanging strips & a package
of industrial strength velcro to see if this material can be used for removable
& adjustable motor mounts. It seems combining the two makes for a strong
bond. That is using the plastic from 3M and the fuzz from the velcro pack.
I'll have to try it on a plane when I get the chance.
