CESSNA 182 Plus 1200mm Motor Mount

I broke the motor mount on this cheap RC plane so I decided to redraw it. I have done a version with pockets to add extra weights as I found the plane needed them anyways as it was so tail heavy. I used weights that you find on car wheels. I did play around with the fixing holes for the Motor, originally getting them the wrong way round but know correct. I have installed this and it works as it says it should. Print with thin walls and 90% fill. You will need to use Supports touching build-plate only. Takes a couple of hours but worth it in the end. UPDATE: i have redesigned this Motor Mount and made it thicker and hopefully stronger, also incorporated 2 weight boxes which help find the CG easier. I use lead weights that are used on car wheels to balance. So far, much better.
