RE: X - UAV B17

Hi!

Tkx for the quick reply. Here's the B17:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...E:L:OC:US:3160

As you can see, the mfgr is X-UAV (whoever that is). Made in China. The cockpit cover is glued so there's no hidden compartment there.

I ended up carving out a reservoir up front, bottom side of fuseloge to accomodate the 3200mAh 3s 11.1v Lipo. The battery sits about 1/2 deep into the foam. Velcro holds it good 'n snug. The wires run in a canal I carved out aside the bombay doors to a 5/8" hole feeding into the compartment with all wires.

Duct tape matches the aircraft color (lucky me!). That covers 60% of the battery and 100% wires. The CG should work out nicely with the battery where I've got it. I can always add an ounch here/there.

Tkx for all the help!!
Doug
