More steps.
Next step was mounting the motor so that rest of gear can be fixed, looking at the CG. (Motor position is fixed, but others can change).
Cut the motor mount from ply.
After mounting the motor, the position of servos is determined. The condiseration here is to be able to keep the battery on or near the CG.

Cute Ashta Sir, however, your own designs are far far superior to this.

thanks VC. But 90% of my planes are not my designs. They are from the net.
