On something like G10 or other composites, you can machine something other than a circle into them, and a square or trapezoid eats up more area, thus removing more weight, so don't waste too much time with drilling lots of tiny holes.
Or leave out the mmt completely and go min dia.
Hmmm, joker amongst us :wink: Then how about this Anyone drill holes in their G12 motor tubes or minimum diameter body tubes to reduce the mass of their fin cans?
The weight savings vs reduction in strength just doesn't do it for me.
Or leave out the mmt completely.
This isn't a joke. Size the centering rings to fit the motor, and you don't need a motor mount tube.
I have said it before- skip the motor mount tube. Have centering rings I.D. sized to match the motor. Have fun tabs longer to reach motor. Pretty sure this will work.

Its not just about weight reduction. In "unusual designs" it can be about the position of the mass too.
