I never used the batteries that came with my 9 or 9x, replaced both with Lipo and never regretted it, a 2S 2000 Hyperian pack fits fine.

Pattern Dough?
What is this stuff, does it harden up after mixing, what is its primary purpose / what kind of places sell it? Would you use it to bulk up a wing mold?

If you are unable to set up with the tank on the cg, move it as close to CG as reasonable and measure cg with tank empty as Marzy69 suggested nose heavy is more predictable than tail heavy.

I set the Centre of the tank on the cg, this way the plane flies with the proper cg through all tank levels. I use a Bladder tank so the the blader does not allow fuel to slosh about or foam up.
