Default RE: 1/3 Scale 1913 Eastbourne Monoplane
In order to have as much weight as possible in the nose, I mounted four 4s 4AH packs right behind the firewall. In this manner, the 4lb 8s2p 8AH super pack can provide as much balance as possible to replace the heavier 3-cylinder radial engine.

My Eastbourne was missing a few hatches so I made the first one out of aircraft grade plywood. The 8-32 screws will be replaced with nylon thumbscrews soon. They are offset a bit because I used existing holes in the model.
