Any opinions on using a motor never designed to be a stressed member as a stressed member?

The frame is only using the upper motor mount in front.

its definitely not the first one i've seen. look at egli, segale, martin and many other successful race frames.

less of a concern in a racer, if cases crack, fit new!!
