Did a design for fuel cell support platform with interlocking tabs. Had a local company do the drawing for laser cutting then glued together with a removable dragon plate top section. Lower section has wide base for plenty of contact area. Tank will have 3M heavy duty interlocking Velcro to secure tank to Dragon plateso it cannot slide and then there are 3 slots in the fuel tank support for Velcro straps to wrap around top of the jettech 6 liter fuel cell. Inside of the structure I have some 90 degree carbon fiber angle glued in at key areas. The support frame is so strong I can stand on it. It drops in like a glove.
I can fit CAT and fuel pump underneath, keep center of gravity low and partially block inlets as there have been complaints about too much air keeping gear doors open.
