I'm sort of freelancing as I go along. Finished the bottom of one will and sort of had to make it up as I went along. Should be pretty good overall. Fun trying to make things fit as I try to convert to electric. Interesting anyway. More pictures to follow.
I think most glow designs that are being built as or converted to electric, can usually stand to have the bulkhead ahead of the wing LE hollowed out and the LE removed to allow the battery to be part way into the wing, to get the CG where you want it.
I wish I would have done this to my ARF Oriental, but nobody would chime in with a "yay" or "nay" when I posted the question.
So long as it doesn't weaken the wing substantially, you should be good doing that. And building the plane I would think it would be reasonably easy to get that done, especially if the wing is "I Beam" construction.
There should be plenty of room for your E-power gear; there are just too many options of where to mount stuff (IMO), and that becomes the biggest hurdle for me when planning the install.
Best of lust with the rest of the build!
