There is a guy flying a ASM B-17 with his setup with all the batteries and speed controls in the center section of the fuse and long wires out to the motors and he is having no problems. His wires are way over 17'' to the motors. It the length from the batteries to the speed control that is the real big issue. They say there can be some power loss with long leads to the motor. but with what we are looking at here i don't think there is a big problem...

Most of my angst is about CG. The wires on the motor and esc total 10 inches. I added another 10 inches to get the ESC in the middle of the scoop. The esc has about 5 inches of power wire. I'm guessing on the balancing, but the Batts might need to be another 6 to 12 inches more towards the nose...not sure at this point. Wouldn't it be nice if those batts need to be right next to the esc.
Sigh...
