the best motor for this would be a 1300KV blue wonder type

especially if you are new to flying you don't want something fast

1st, would it be possible to get these as un-tiled images for those of us who have access to plotters?
2nd, Would there be any benefit to building the swappables out of corrugated plastic? It seems that while you'd lose a bit when it comes to weight it would become darn near indestructable.

just got my 2 3 planes flite kit, from lazertoy with the power kit. Now on both kit the motor mount are round (different then the video) and the hole are too big for using servo screw. But can you tell me how to fit the motor into those motor mount, they seem just a little too small. Do I need to sand the motor shaft that goes into the motor mount ?
thanks

Just sand the 2 pieces and put some oil !
Voila

1) What's the advantage of the "A" fold? If I do it the other way (another commenter called it a "B" fold) would it still be as strong? I'm planning on putting a Multiwii inside the pod, and I need the extra width. I think the dimensions would work out as long as I made the firewall the right size, and also folded the plane parts in a "B" fold.
2) You should sell stiff templates. I would like the advantage of a laser cutter, but I will probably ruin a few parts, and don't want to buy several kits for one cheapo plane. If you made good, stiff templates, I could buy one of those (for hopefully about the same price as a kit) and then remake parts when I destroyed one.

in the crafts section there should be some wooden door hangers. You can make 12-18 firewalls with a pack of six for $4. While you're there, pick up BBQ skewers 100 for $.97!

Is it a SunnySky X2212 KV1400 (56g) with 8x4.5 props too much for this pod?
I have a SimpleCopter with such motors and some 3S 2200mAh and one 3S 1500mAh, and I'm wondering If I can use the same motors and these batteries in a FT Swappable.
Is this configuration too heavy for the swappables?
I'm planning to add a HK FPV Kit (Skyzone Plug-N-Play FPV 500-Set With TS58500 TX, RC832 RX, Sony 700CCD and C/P Antennas), no GoPro or Mobious, just the FVP cam.
About this matter, is there a some kind of swappables' Pod for FPV?

ALSO, the plans print out differently on different printers so knowing the critical dimensions is critical for me to know so that everything fits together.
A step by step instruction sheet will also be very helpful, especially in the airplane kits.
