Here are some pics of my mod for the lipo hatch and strut.
The four lipos (20s total) sit standing up in front of the canopy.
Then, I needed to lengthen the trailing link so the strut would fit in the wheel well. I bought the coupling at Home Depot and cut it down to fit in trailing link. The hex shaped coupling made it easier to attach. I used epoxy putty to attach it higher on the strut. The epoxy is a dark gray when dry so I painted it with some silver. You would never know.
I also bought the very nice Sierra brakes and hooked them into the down elevator on my transmitter. Works great.
The final pictures are my inner stuffings.
