Hey FM, I took some pictures of the motor mount for you. Have a look and let me know what you think.

[Freshmint]

in the second picture it look like the right side of the mount is push too far in?
other than that dont look to bad

THANKS FM! I can get it level if I use some kind of shimmie. I'll see how it goes when I put it in.

You shouldn't really have to shimm it in. There should be enough friction in the foam/metal contact to just hold the mount in the right position. Then you just let the gorilla glue do the work.
Did you cut the gap so wide that the motor mount actually FALLS into the slot?

No, one side will hold it in for sure. the other is a little loose, but it won't slide out. I guess the big gorilla will fix it all!

LOL, I'm sorry i'm not living up to the pace! I was enjoying the nice sun over the weekend!

Alrighty!

I put the motor mount in today, then attached the motor. cables have been routed and are ready to be attached to ezUHF. Still need to program both the tx and rx though.

I tested the VTX and it all worked quite well. Friday I will do a full systems test. Then it is ready to be covered after I add some tape to the front edge and bottom for strengthening.
