I went down to Joe Nall with a friend (owner of 3DX Hobbies) and flew some control line.  My friend, who is a very accomplished giant scale RC and helicopter flier, took a turn flying control line on the Stevens Aero plane Mark put together.  He really enjoyed it and the first thing after he got home was to get a Pathfinder ARF from Brodak.  He asked if I would convert it to electric for him.  E-Flite Power 25, CC Phoenix 45 ESC, Hubin F9 timer.  Very pleased with the resultant layout.  First flights should be next week.  Waiting for props.

Yes, lots of Velcro on the back of the battery and ESC.  Timer is screwed in place.

Nice setup, but what is holding the motor in?  I would like to see some detail on your motor mount for future use.

That is really slick!   The part appears to be laser cut, do you have access to laser cutting equipment?
Andy

Yes. I have a small laser, 14" x 9"  Never enough tools!

Hmmm, you might be everyone's new BEST FRIEND!

Friends are good!

Yes, there are balsa rings behind, and in front of, the plywood motor mount.  The front most ring behind the spinner is lite ply.  The whole assembly is glassed on the outside.  This ties it to the fuselage and the cheek on the outside.  I have a similar mount on my original profile that's presently in the paint stage.  Pictures attached.
