**Update 12/29/2019**
I have added a "v4" variant. This is to address two
shortcomings with the V3 design: Too much nose heavy CG,
and the need to mount the motor from inside the pod.
This new version attempts to address these. This has new
holes and motor mounting pod changes to accommodate
external mounting of the motor via the X plate usually
included with SunnySky motors and others.
I noticed that Turnigy, DYS and others have a 33mm hole
pattern on the X plate. SunnySky has 34mm hole pattern. I
have included both here.
I have included a 15mm spacer for both 33 and 34mm mount
pattern. You can use Z scaling in your slicer to get any
dimension if you don't want 15mm. The spacer is to move
the motor back, and thus move the CG back. It will also
allow the motor to get cleaner air for efficiency and
cooling. The V4 design I printed weighs in at 134 grams,
printed with MatterHackers Build PLA black, 2 bottom
layers, 2 wall layers, 3 top layers, 20% infill. I keep
the bed at 70C for the entire print and it doesn't warp.
My last prints have been much better than the ones
pictured here.
I am currently building a V4 version, and will post
photos and videos soon, I hope!

This is center pod design was originally intended to give
me a platform for the left over wings from crashed
FliteTest Arrow planes. Anyone who crashes an Arrow
enough can tell you it is usually the center pod that
goes first.
This pod is designed to accommodate a 2200 3S and a
flight controller.
This version is for FT Arrow wings that have been cut at
the 'pod line'. If you look at the plans, the Arrow wings
can be made to accommodate a center pod or not. When I
was salvaging my wings, I had to cut the center pod
completely out.
If you don't cut the center pod out, you end up with a
larger wing with a wider wing span and a longer cord. I
have a new version of this pod in the works that fits the
larger full FT Arrow wing.

Almost maiden of my second build with this pod.
The first one was in PETG and it broke at the motor mount
at the first bad crash when I was day dreaming out my
side view camera. The PLA version is much better.
I used these fins:

More details about the plane coming soon...
