I am thinking the flanges on the side could be removed and the part could be squared off for weight savings. If we see it needs more stability could be added in the future
Will need to 3D print a mount for the camera that then mounts to this. Looks like there is space reserved above the motor for that currently. Vibrations may be a concern, but can be addressed later if a major issue
Not sure if there is more possibility for weight savings, which there may be but Alison Thompson may have thoughts.

I agree with Evan, side flanges as implemented here aren’t really helping
How does the camera mount to this? a 3d print?
Can this be added to the fixed wing main assembly with the motor mated to it in the way you’re envisioning?
All corners should be filleted
idk simulations but Evan Janakievski may be able to help with a sim to see if we can expect this to bend with no supports
can look at sheet metal or 3d printed braces to support the motor mount from behind if we expect it to bend
once in main assem and camera mount is in there we can see if we can reduce the height of the top flange/round it off
