I've just managed to cram 3S1P 1500 Mah Lipo pack into my Tangent. It kind of fits in the belly pan. I glued the pack to the wing (with some silicone cauking) and made the belly pan removable. Have a castle creations speed controller and a Mega 16/7 motor. Will try flying it this weekend.
With the heavier motor, I got the plane to balance by making a 2 - 1 pack configuration, with the 2 cells towards the rear of the wing.

I use 1320 3S in my tangent. I cut the wood at the LE so I could put the pack so the fwd end is almost at the wing LE. Using Himax 2015-4100. When I started with this plane I found that the cg was too aft...so I cut the support wood stuff so I could put the pack as far forward as possible and it's great now. The kokam 1500s are way bigger than the TP 1320s. I have some of each.
