Hi Igor,
The battery is sitting in the heavily turbulent zone of the flat wing producing the lift only by the angle of attack so there is no way to quantify this effect. The drag is increased for sure what, by the way, is quite convenient because Wasp does not have the purposely built air brakes like your indoor bees. It does have, though, so many Depron and carbon composite stiffeners that they act like air brakes, giving me at this moment 4.9 sec. lap times with still enough tension to fly five consecutive, narrowing cones between 45 and 20 deg. from the vertical.
The battery was installed on the outside horizontal fuselage part close to the model X-Z plane but the model needed 12 grams of the tip weight. I have moved the battery outside and removed the tip weight. The overall pattern performance is, in my humble opinion, good except the top two corners of the hourglass. I do not have your active timer installed in this model and it is loosing the maneuverability when forced to make the hourglass corner #3 the way it suppose to be. Keith Renecle's timer I am using has the gain parameter set to 5 but I do not see nor feel any difference in the model dynamics when I set it to 1. Perhaps when my "pattern feel" improves, I will feel this difference.
Thanks,
M
