I created a whole assembly for the front quad bar before installing and gluing it into the MT. In this manner, it is plug-n-play with all the connectors. Note the forward arrow on the green center tape to provide proper motor rotation for an H-frame and center the carbon bar when gluing it in place.
The slot in the main MT body was created by first cutting a “V” into the foam with a craft saw and then wrapping sand paper around on of the 12mm rod cut-off pieces until it was below the surface. This allowed me to optionally glue a thin plywood piece over the top for additional support, if needed.
Initially, I’ll use Foam Tac to glue the carbon bar to the MT frame and then determine if more support is needed. I replaced the front wheel with a short carbon rod stand to keep the MT upright.
I still plan to mount my digital air speed sensor and paint the wing tips red. Under the wings, I have long reflector strips.
