Tricopter build: Mounting the motors

The base is cut from 1/4″ ply and the arms are 12mm x 12mm Tas oak about 20″ long. Excuse my interchanging metric and imperial units but thats what you get building from forums in the US. I’m using a method described on the mongrelgear.com.au site for mounting the motors which is simply cable ties and a bit of glue. I found with the spacing of the motor mount holes and the bend radius of the ties, I needed to insert some carbon fiber rods to take up the slack on the cable tie. By the time it’s all finished, the motors are mounted securely, quickly and easily.
