Since the Turbinator needs nose weight, I tried installing everything as far forward as possible. The small hatch in the front is a very welcomed "improvement" and allows good access. I installed the UAT under the covered area between the two hatches, the RX batteries (Booma RC - http://www.dreamworksrc.com/catalog/...ceiver-Battery ) all the way forward and the e-gear and turbine batteries under the Power Pack which sits on a shelf I made and permanently the data terminal. There is room next to the UAT to put a larger battery if needed or desired.



Even with all this equipment located forward, preliminary checks showed some nose weight was still going to be required. To get the as much weight as I could to the forward most part of the plane, I hollowed out the nose through a couple of the lightening holes in the front former and melted some lead into the cavities. The total melted was about 7.5 oz. with another 2.5 oz. of stick-on weight which I may end up removing slowly after some flight tests.
