6) Since I am going with a lighter glow engine (Saito 1.80), I screwed mine in place and I'm strapping my battery to the bottom of it. It also makes accessing the fuel tank and engine compartment much easier.

Hey Shawn, I thought of doing that too but aren't you afraid you might overheat the battery with the engine heat inside the cowl? I wanted to put my battery on the front of the firewall inside the cowl on my Saito 180 equipped CAP but thought the heat might be bad.
