Servo Screw-Mounting Frame for Foamboard Airplanes

thingiverse

If you're passionate about creating foamboard airplanes, similar to those well-known Flite Test designs, then mounting servos into the foam usually involves using hot glue. This method does work effectively, but it can be challenging and messy when removing the servos for repairs or replacements or simply to move them to a different aircraft. A more efficient way is to first attach these frames into your plane using the included screws, making it easy to mount your servos later. The frames provide firm anchors for the screws to hold onto, facilitating effortless removal of the servos whenever necessary. These frames are specifically designed to fit popular HXT-900 9g servos and other models with similar dimensions. To begin: Simply cut a hole in the foam board and then push the frame partially into the hole. Apply some hot glue underneath the tabs and firmly press it down until it lies flat. For guidance, lightly press the frame against the board to leave an impression on the paper, which indicates where you need to make your cut.
