Brodak is now offering two new "Universal" electric mount systems designed to help convert an IC design to a firewall mount with a battery tray for electric systems:

BH-1943: UNIVERSAL “A” ELECTRIC CONVERSION MOUNT
This mounting system is designed to be used in a model that has a 2” wide inside dimension to the full fuselage.  This corresponds to just about every 35-40 sized model from Brodak or from other sources.  The Electric Conversion system revises the fuselage construction to a firewall mount with a battery tray and a top access hatch.  It works with any of the Brodak Arrowind 28xx motors, or similar sized motors from other vendors. It is designed to mount the motor on the front of the firewall so it can be used with the small X-mounts used with other brand motors.  If you are using an Arrowind with the large X-Mount, you could conceiveably modify this mount to a through the firewall style.  THis mount is shown in the pix below going into an Ares fuselage.


BH-1944: UNIVERSAL “B” ELECTRIC CONVERSION MOUNT
This mounting system is designed to be used in a model that has a 2.25” wide inside dimension to the full fuselage.  This corresponds to larger models designed for big block 45-75 sized model from Brodak or from other sources.  The Electric Conversion system revises the fuselage construction to a firewall mount with a battery tray and a top access hatch.  It works with any of the Brodak Arrowind 35xx motors or other similar sized motors.

Dennis,
 You living in an apartment away from home is really helping the electric revolution with your think tank innovations. Aw heck you'd do the same stuff living in Michigan and we would see you more.Sure did miss you at Brodaks Fly In this year. Hope you make it to the Michigan contest in August.
