+There are lots of ways to mount an EasyMotor board, but since we've been
+asked, here are a few photos are from snap-ring case forward closures
+machined by Bdale for
test flights of EasyMotor. The sensor bodies are 316 stainless with a 1/8 NPT
male boss, so the approach chosen is to drill a 1/8 inch touch hole all the
way through the closure, then drill and tap 1/8 NPT female threads part way
through the closure thickness. The hole gets filled with grease and the

+sensor screwed in. The first example is a 98mm snap-ring clossure, with the
+sensor and electronics mounted off-center so a 3/8" all-thread could be used
+in the center for motor retention in a minimum-diameter-ish airframe. The
+mounting bracket for the electronics was bent from a bit of 1/16" aluminum
+sheet and screwed to the forward closure with two short 4-40 screws into
+tapped and drilled mounting holes. Note the use of an A23 12v alkaline battery
+in a holder on the bracket wiht the
+EasyMotor prototype. These batteries are fine for a flight or two, and both
+they and the little holders for them are cheap on Amazon and make installations
+like this fairly easy to put together:

+This second example is on a 75mm snap-ring closure, and was Bdale's first attempt
+using 16-gauge steel to bend a mounting bracket that could also be used for recovery
+harness attachment. Another A23 and holder are taped on the other side of the
+sensor not visible in this photo:

+This example is a refinement of the 16-gauge steel strap used to form a mounting
+bracket and harness retention point, this time for a 54mm snap-ring closure.
+Bdale has flown this setup several times now, and the only down-side is that
+it obvious takes up a few extra inches of airframe length. Note the quik-link
+wrapped in electrical tape to make sure it doesn't flop down and short against
+any of the electronics in flight. Note also a long piece of shooter wire that
+gets fed through a vent hole in the airframe as a twist-n-tape power switch.
