Innovative. Please post some more details. Have you started building one? Have you thought of a quick release system to mount and dismount it from the model?

@ VC, yes, there will be two holes, and dowels will be passed through them....these dowels can also be used to hold the wings in place....

I had made one for Nitro Corro models some years ago. The OS 46 (or 55) sat in along with the fuel tank & throttle servo with push rod, and the nose wheel & it's steering gear. The assembly slid out, and was fastened from the side with self tapping screws. Made of 2 mm ply, with 6 mm firewall and glass filled nylon engine mount.

Only problem I faced was that the corro fuse (4 mm) varies in size, depending on which flute it folds along!

It's good if you plan to keep half a dozen corro models, and use a single power pod
