Just a quick comment on the last picture in post #10
I've had good luck with Deans arming switch (receptacle) mounting using these:

(they come in different colors of anodizing)
You can get them much cheaper at Hobbyking as well:

Makes replacing the Dean connector (if necessary) very easy; no need for Hysol
Also the fuselage cutout is the same size as an Anderson Powerpole housing

should you decide to change in the future
