It would probably be cheaper just to buy another gong mast.
i tried to get a 3D File of the gong mast, but could not get it. Maybe someone has one or at least a picture with measurements of the gong mast or fuselage, then I could do an adapter.
I will send this to you later today, otherwise Gong mast are really cheap, I think they are discounting last year version as they released new graphics

Here we have Gong dimensions, I’d like to have the same for SS…
Hi guys what files format do you want? A dfx profil or IGS, Step ect?
DXF is good for me 
I only found the dfx profile, I will redesign it later if you need the full extrusion otherwise I can send the dfx profil I used for the mast clamp
.step would be perfect but .dxf should work as well;-)
Thanks for all the suggestions, actually thinking about it it may be easier to get a second gong fuselage and modifying that to fit the mast
@RamsUK couldyou post a pict of the SS mast section with dimensions (caliper) and screw spacing ? With the Gong one, you could have your STL file milled into alu and drilled for a few USD at your local FabLab. Could be less than 30usd from an online shop… Nice Fusion360 mini project ain’t it ?

SS has 50,7mm displacement of the 2 M8 screws

Hi,
That’s exactly the sort of thing I need! Thanks unfortunately I do not have a caliper to measure the mast
The problem is to get that machined as a one off you’ll most likely pay more than £50. Therefore the mast will be cheaper…
Problem is my mast and motor pod was purchased as a complete unit so I don’t really want to start separating it all or replacing and drilling a new mast. So the adapter would be good or I could get second fuselage from gong and modify that itnstead.
Or, I could just attempt to use my slingshot hover glide kite wing but i suspect it is too smsll
The kite wing won’t be too small, it will just be faster and a little harder.
I also understand your reluctance to take it apart. I have both gong and slingshot so can draw up a unit for you when I get free time.
Thanks Jez, much appreciated. My build is progressing. Just about to water test my hatch for leaks. If it all goes well I will be ordering electrics in the next few weeks including an ARC200.
Will post a build log shortly and I’ll pm you some pics of the hatch etc.
While I was looking at this, I realised its a lot more complex as the adaptor needs to go into the gong fuselage and not just sit on top.
I think you need to post a picture of the bottom of you existing mast as well.
Not sure about that as the 2 chords can be different and what is inside the fuselage can be roughly filed down …
