Scale 50% Dalotel 165

Thanks Roger. I kinda figured the wood one was temporary. Do you have any idea on the weight of a wood, vs welded tubing motor mount? Of course once it's done I suppose we'll all find out, eh!
good question, anad I don't know if I will really know since I haven't made a proper wood mount that I could actually use, but I think it might be very similar or the metal tube might even come out a bit lighter
 
a lot of work and very little to show for it LOL
