This puts them each at about a 30 degree angle from center-line which should work great for my "tractor" type control, however I realize now that if one of the motors quits I will be running around in circles. I have the option of adding a rudder but am not going to do that. I'll live with it for now and see how it goes.</div><div dir="ltr" id="m_-6828314548296254302yui_3_16_0_1_1496667634522_7099"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="m_-6828314548296254302yui_3_16_0_1_1496667634522_7099">The motors will be cradled in the 4-inch channel and held in with SS or Alum straps.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div dir="ltr" id="m_-6828314548296254302yui_3_16_0_1_1496667634522_7100"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="m_-6828314548296254302yui_3_16_0_1_1496667634522_7101">Jon</div><div dir="ltr" id="m_-6828314548296254302yui_3_16_0_1_1496667634522_7102"><br></div></font></span></div></div><br>______________________________<wbr>_________________<br>
