@prabal276,
Excellent!  Clap
Try a little downthrust and/or a smaller prop.
Well done. Best wishes.

FT got a separate video for multi-use multi-model power pod
https://www.flitetest.com/articles/ft-swappable-power-pod-kit

Use 5 mins araldite. Found in any hardware store.

But remember FT uses dollar tree foam board, the thickness differs from depron sheets found here. So the dimensions need to be adjusted.

The power pod is very easy to build.......
Refer to this video:



As for the Hot Glue, let it cool down a little before using it.
I would suggest not to use epoxy as the joints will be very hard and your plane won't be repairable after a bad crash.

Prabal
