K8 Motor Mount

K8 Motor Mount
This is a motor mount for a Seagull 3 Metre K8 so that it could be flown from a flat field site.
The motor used should have a maximum diameter of 35mm, a maximum length of 52mm and use a mounting plate with hole centres of 41mm.
The hexagon recesses are for plain M3 nuts.
There are two parts to the assembly, a backplate and the front end, it uses a 55mm dia spinner for the folding prop.
In order to compensate for the angle at which the front former on the K8 is mounted I have included the offset backplate to compensate and also to give 3 degrees side thrust, this is probably the best one to use but I have still left the original .stl file.
It has been designed to match the fuselage with the nose cut back to at the first former
The backplate is fastened to the front former using four wood screws and the nose section is fastened to the backplate with two M3 x 15 cap screws and washers accessed through the air intakes.
Items needed to complete
6 off plain m3 nuts.
