FT Bushwacker Front Grill and Power Pod Pins

thingiverse

This is a front grill for the Flitetest FT Bushwacker. It fits my Bushwacker snugly and is held on by 2 small screws, one on each side, I am sure you will figure it out. Make sure the motor spins freely. I also included my power pod pins. I never did like pushing just the wood skewers into the foam board it really messes up the foamboard when you crash. These power pod pins still have pins in the back that go into the foamboard, but it is much more sturdy in a crash. These pins can be used for other FT planes that have a doubled foamboard front and can be installed with screws and nuts for easy replacement. I had already built the Bushwacker when I decided to put this on, so I couldn't get in to put on the screws so I hot glued it in. Might be a pain to replace if I crash. Be sure the inside pins are on the BOTTOM piece of the doubled foamboard, and poke the holes with a skewer first so the back pins will slide in easy when installing. I also included a version that does not have the inside pins. I use these power pod pins with the FT firewall found here. Sometimes I have to make the holes a little bigger to fit the pins, but this is intentional for added strength. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2542362
