Kind off…
I’ve moved 3 powerbox 5000 batteries from the nose cone…and left one 5000 in the nose cone and the other two moved to then engine bay right on the CG.
No massive change in handling.
note , I’m also using all 3 tanks for fuel. I’ve the Xicoy scales. From the full 5L of fuel to empty main tanks the CG moves back (from memory) over 1 full inch.
the plane feels different from takeoff to landing, but I presume that’s more weight change than CG shift
