All of my combat planes use a steel motor mount.
Steel is great for combat because even after the worst crash, if it gets bent, it can easily be bent back into shape and can often be re-bent many times if needed.
The stainless steel ones that I use are supplied with the kits, but if you are doing a scratch build or you have a plane with a plastic or wooden mount try this trick out. Go to your local Home Depot and look in the fence section for an "A21" L bracket. it comes with two holes in it that line up with the FC2812 motor, the Turnigy 3530 motor and most likely many others that are popular for combat use. It's galvanized instead of stainless but it costs less than a buck. Try it, you're gonna like it.

Happy stack of combat planes :)
Now go out and hit something.
