Default Zagi XS on Lipoly. Nothing fits the battery tray or balance??

Gentlemen,
Are any of you flying the Zagi XS on lipoly? I have lots of lipoly cells and none fit into the square battery box. If they do, then they are too light to balance the XS. My Thunderpower batteries are too long to fit into the box. I am ready to modify the batter box and wanted to get ideas from you guys before cutting into the wing and battery box.
Thanks for your suggestions!

You're going to have to take the knife to something, either the battery or the battery tray...

Make sure the LiPolys you intend to use are adequate for the Amps your motor will draw. The Thunderpowers should do okay, depending on what configuration they're in.

Thanks Matt. Have you or any other readers modified a Zagi XS to accomdate lipoly? If not, what lipolys are you using to fly a Zagi XS?
Thanks,
Frank

build your own canopy like this one I built from coroplast. it fits all lipo cells and many other packs as well.
