Default Accessible Charge Jack in Biplane

I'm builidng a 1.20 size Nitroplanes Ultimate biplane and want to be able to transport and store it without taking the wings off. I'm going to be using an A123 battery which means I will need access to the battery balance jack without removing the wings. (I have a FMA charger and I charge the battery through the balance jack.) What is a good way to mount or hide this type of jack?

I would think about making the canopy removable. OR making a hatch with a couple screws behind the lower wing.

Hi,

It's building mine with the same idea - it fits assembled inside my large hatchback.

I think this this 'Dubro Kwik Switch mount' will work
