Reely Cessna Servo Mount

thingiverse

Due to several crashes I lost both the original and the spare servo mount of my Reely Cessna 480. As it turned out there was no way to glue the broken parts and so I made a more sturdy version of the original mount and also, while at it, include a mount for my Mobius camera. Needless to say that the mount takes up the original servos. In order to fit the mount into the fuselage you'll need to widen the top opening. It was way too small anyway. Mine is now 63 mm wide which makes it so much easier to work inside. The screw holes have a wider spacing but it's no big deal to make a new set of holes in the fuselage. Have the front two screws aligned with the old holes, that'll put the mount just in the right position to take up all push rods without the need for further modifications. For the Mobius mount you need to remove the plastic bar that sticks out through the body and picks up the rubber bands that fixate the wing. You can use a pair of bolts and nuts to restore the two studs, without compromising the stability. Once that's done, cut an opening into the fake windscreen (2.5 by 2.5cm, 0.3cm offset to the right) for the camera lens. I'm using a microscope slide to protect the lens from debris and it also cuts down on the wind noise significantly.
