This then slides into the tube, giving excellent support for the batteries, plus I left the magnets in place. It would be interesting to see how Frodo did his installation, especially the tank, because one litre is the minimum size tank for the X45, in my opinion. Your solution is equivalent to a full size new tank install, from a engineering point of view!!.
Great ideas for the nose cone install. I did that for the F-105 nose and nozzle. I did not even think of it here. Keep feeding me ideas and I will steal them all!
Agree 1L is minimum volume for x-45. That's why Keith made the rear aux tank as the main tank only had about .9L or 30oz.

Thanks for the tips,
Gary
