Looking forward to hear about the engine starts. Thanks for sharing all these!
I agree with this, I thought the same thing about the tray in the nose. I have two rather large motor batteries to, two 5800 ion packs and a 3800 9.0 LiFe pack all sitting on the glued in tray. I put the bag of BBs forward of those in the tip of the nose, so the less equipment weight you have the more balance weight u will need. I dont do pilots either so if you use a pilot it would take very little weight, im hoping 290mm works on the CG, I could remove the weight and possible move a a battery back. Anyway hoping to test run tomorrow and check for heat around the tail section.
