here is what I am planning on using in my new model - I am going to have the battery access from a side hatch on the inboard side - battery slides in really easy and is held in place by the aluminium angles, plus front and rear stops...as an added precaution, there will be velcro on the outboard fuse doubler, and the "base" of the battery where it meets that side.
I figure that the centrifugal force will keep the battery hard against the outboard side, so it shouldn't go anywhere.......
there is not a lot of space to play with in the nose of the plane I am building - but it will have HEAPS of cooling air, so figure I might be OK .
motor is front mounted on custom made composite ply (basically 4 layers of 1/16th 5 ply, at 90 degree angles with fibreglass in the between) ....sides are 1/16th ply and will obviously be the nose doublers....
the component weighs 60grams without the motor etc - and I will be taking a little more off that when it is final sanded....
so - any comments,or areas I need to fix?
any help is appreciated,
