Default RE: EDF Predator UCAV from Nitro Planes

Mark,

Thanks for the pics, it looks very cool. I was wondering if others are concerned about the intake ducts preventing the batteries from being positioned far enough back? It seems that I was not the only one that had to move the battery packs behind the canopy so that they were partially blocking the intake openings. Even then, I needed a few ounces of lead in the tail.

Also, when using the intake ducts, the air flow across the batteries and ESC will be blocked. What have others done to get some air flow back across these components?

Lastly, do you think you will make a version of the intake ducts for a 90mm Wemotec fan? Or, is there a way to couple your existing design to a 90mm fan?

Thanks!
