So I was figuring out how to mount the new motor casing in the airframe and ran into this issue (see picture). The forward closure on the new motor sits higher then the old one, and if I simply extend the retaining bracket it will interfere with the avionics.
The easiest option would be to shorten the mid plate by a hole or two and move everything up, but I know that module is pretty packed. I could also use countersunk screws and/or thinner plate for the top most flat bar, which would help but wouldn't completely solve the problem. Alternately, we could skip dealing with this and just design a motor bulkhead with the strain gauge that will properly fit. (hand waving here, this is more complicated then it sounds, but there have been a couple good ideas so far). Thoughts? Thanks, -Dave
