Just playing around here. Bought this 3D printed 1/76 scale model for display. Very light weight for size of it. Prior to purchase I inquired about the inside mm of main body tube. It was 32mm! So at this point just seeing if mounting a 29mm motor mount in the most rear section would work..
It did. Progress so far shown here. Much more to consider of course so again.....just playing at this point. Check out the motor retainer....it was fashioned out of an unused sprinkler head from the fish pond pump. Also it was amazing that sch 40 pvc 1 1/2
Pipe was the exact OD OF existing airframe. Stay tuned
