Radian - Battery Placement and CG
I *think* the velcro strap is for the battery although it appears there is a cavity for it further aft. Where do you place your battery and how do you get the velcro strap around it?
If I push the battery aft into the cavity, the CG is too far back (from manual: the CG should be 2.5" behind the leading edge of the wing).

RE: Radian - Battery Placement and CG
Push it back – if you are an experienced pilot you will want it back. I have a quarter taped to my tail and the battery pushed all the way in. And no the holes on the fin will not fit a quarter…
If you are new and a little unsure then leave the battery a little forward to make the Radian a little more stable and predictable.
