ejam,

Hey ___you were righ there and thanks for the suggestion.

I have to have an orientation of the main receiver so that I can connect and disconnect the servos and the battery from it without taking the receiver out.

There is not enough height to install the main Rx antenna vertical so I am thinking about installing it at an angle of about 45 degrees against the left side wall so the antenna would be between the two servos and the rear of the main battery (Onyx 2,000 mAh 7.2 volts NiMH) which will sit on the bottom floor just about centered on the CG .

On top of the main battery will be the radio battery (Spektrum 1,100 mAh 4.8 volts NiCd). I am counting on locating this battery adjustable front to back to locate the CG dead on the center of its recommended range to start with.

Both batteries will be locked in place so they cannot move forward or backward once the CG is located properly.

I am first setting this model as per supplied brushed motor (Goldfire S 600) and the supplied nylon 8 x 4 fixed pitch prop. I intend later to install a brushless motor, ESC and lipo battery.

I am only looking for enjoyment not for contesting.

Keep in touch and let us know of your progress.
