I'm not certain what battery tray you have used in the Caleus, I'm guessing it's the Gator RC version. If so you might want to add this to the collection. I just bought one to add to my Etude. http://www.f3aunlimited.com/gator-rc...ket-kit-grcrtb

Also, the ESC tray he now makes is pretty slick. I bought 2. 1 for the ESC and 1 for the Receiver. http://www.f3aunlimited.com/gator-rc...r-esc-tray-kit

Lastly, the deal Mike Mueller has on the Caeluse V2 lite is phenomenal, $1,100 and no freight charge, pretty tough to beat.

I'm using a postal scale and moving it from wheel to wheel, including the tail wheel. Then adding all 3. Should be accurate. The Caelus battery tray looks stronger in the V2, not flimsy like my V1 was. I'll consider leaving it in, unless I need to change the location drastically for CG. I'll have mine ready to weight tomorrow, and I'll post up the final grams.
