Motormount for rc gliders on pylon for Turnigy Aerodrive 35XX motors

thingiverse

This is a motor mount for my Multiplex Alpha vintage glider. It's designed specifically for a 3536-1050 Turnigy Aerodrive motor and a 12x6e folding prop, but you can use any other 35mm motor as long as the hole spacing remains the same. Just place it between the aluminum mounts. You'll need an extra ring if you want some extra space for the axle to stick out of the motor or just drill a hole in to mount and give sticking out axles some space. Alternatively, simply cut off the axle. If the pylon is too long, don't worry - just cut it off. Use 3mm nuts and bolts to mount the motor and apply a drop of blue Locktite. I built this mount using PLA and have flown with it for almost two years without any issues - not once has it come loose or shown cracks. I never modify the noses of my vintage gliders, so this is a great way to fly them with or without a motor while keeping them intact. Here are some links to the components I used: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-aerodrive-sk3-3536-1050kv-brushless-outrunner-motor.html https://hobbyking.com/en_us/folding-prop-spinner-40mm-5-0mm-shaft-1.html To keep the props horizontal during flight, I used a piece of tie rod. I drilled a 3mm hole in it and bolted it to the adapter end with a 3mm bolt that came with the folding prop spinner. I don't use the cone. Cut the tie rod so the props can go no further than horizontal. Otherwise, the prop may not fold out when you throttle up and will make an unpleasant sound.
